The annual breakfast splash-in will be held again this year.

 We will begin serving at 0900 which is about the time the first aircraft usually arrive and continue so long as the food holds out.

The aircraft usually depart by 1300 which is when the lake begins getting busy on the Holiday.

Boaters may make arrangements with GK to launch at the Sportsman’s Club or the new ramp on SR 535, or into Lake Down itself on Windermere Conroy Road.

Parking for automobiles is limited, and should be your last choice.

 From Interstate Four exit at # 82-A which is 408 aka East-West Expressway.  Go west to the end and get off at exit # 1.  You will be facing north at the traffic light.

 Left (west) turn on SR50 W.Colonial Drive.  Go three traffic lights to Maguire Road. (Best Western – Perkins Restaurant on the north side. Left turn (south) on Maguire and drive 2.7 miles then left turning into Marina Bay on Schooner Way.

 Go to the end, about one-tenth mile, to a small traffic circle, with a club house and tennis courts.  Best parking is in front of the club house.

 Keep in mind, if you drive to the house, it will be a first-in = last-out situation into which you put yourself.

 Suggest you walk down our five hundred foot driveway, which is immediately to the left of the only streetlight and bordered by a wooden fence, scheduled, with the drive, for replacement., soon.

 Looking forward !
