SKOAC Fall Ball


Looks like summer is starting to turn to Fall, I've noticed on a few other blogs people are noticing the colder temps, shorter days, school buses stopping and going along the drive to work in the morning. That can only mean the "Fall Ball" is close on the list of weekend "to do's". Most years past it was held on Sand Island in the Apostles, this year its still in the Apostles but will be on Oak Island instead. I haven't been to one since 2003, so I'm looking forward to this one.

Here's a link to some photos from the 6th Annual in 2005.

Sounds like the BC should have checked for Jeromes update before you guys launched on Friday ;)

Was quite a wild crossing to Oak .. 3-5 ft beam wind waves w/25kt winds. Was a bit of workout.
