Itinerary:

Come out and enjoy a day of rolling fun and games sailing on Lake Lanier. While this event pays tribute to the contributions of the Seven "Celtic" Nations to our maritime history, it is designed to be a great, fun day on and off the water.

Be prepared to decorate your ship, dress in kilts - if'n you got 'em AND brave enough to wear 'em, engage in song and dance, ward off "Celtic" Pirates, engage in water cannon fights, rescue the Leprechaun Overboard and consume vast amounts of Celtic food and DRINK!!! Also, we have a few of the local Celtic bands playing in the evening.
