What’s Happening in Tin Can Bay?????
Well here we are with a New Year racing away once more. We in the bay are having the traditional quiet February, but are not short of boats, everyone is pleased to be back until the cruising season starts once more.
We have a busy time in our Marina family during the next couple of months, with Mick (our Marina Manager) and Sammies’ wedding on March 27th, so our Congratulations go to them both, with lots of well wishes for the future.
The first weekend in April being Easter, brings lots of holiday makers to the local area which always brings our little village alive. If you are considering a holiday at this time, make sure you book one of our Waterfront Marina Holiday Villas early as things fill up quickly.
