2009 Red Cross Boat Scramble

Cape Harbour Marina will host the 2009 Red Cross Boat Scramble on Saturday. The boating event combines a regatta with a game of chance. Boaters exchange chips for one hand of cards.

Boaters begin the scramble where they like with chip locations opening at 9 a.m. and closing at 4 p.m. Boaters must return to Cape Harbour Marina between 4 and 5:30 p.m.

Also, there is a mandatory captains meeting Friday at Pincher’s Crab Shack, 15271 McGregor Blvd. Suite 1, Fort Myers.

The boat scramble is open to all boats including personal watercraft. The stops were designed to allow both small and large crafts to participate.

Boat entries are $200 and include one poker hand. Register online at: www.arclee.org or call 278-3401.
