All the photos are from last year’s bacchanalian BBQ….

Every year, TSPS organizes a fabulous outdoor BBQ, courtesy of Marina-member Claude Strobbe. This year TSPS will again host a BBQ on the deck overlooking the 300+ yachts docked in Tokyo’s own downtown marina!

The BBQ starts at 1:00 o’clock on November 9th, always a gloriously-sunny Saturday. Last year, 50 people attended, 12 guests and some new Members, too!

All-you-can-eat assorted meats and veggies, free-flowing beer & wine. Bring the kids, friends, colleagues, girlfriends…. loiter around gazing at the yachts and visit the collection of Member’s vessels tied to the Visitor Dock (for easy access!) afterwards!

Photo from las year: This year’s BBQ will substitute for the monthly Keelhaul (normally the first Wednesday of every month!). So: no Keelhaul in Roppongi’s fabulous Pizzakaya in November… (but we will invite honorary-Member Derek to join us, hopefully towing some of his many girlfriends!).

While the TSPS Bridge Meeting is every second-Wednesday of every month, THIS YEAR we will hold an Open Bridge Meeting just before the BBQ! So please show-up early and join-in the broader discussion, meet the management-team and overhear how our boating and sailing issues are addressed; weigh-in, too, then quaff some draft beers with everyone afterwards?

Bridge Meeting: 11:00 in the restaurant; BBQ: 1:00 o’clock until ~3:00 o’clock on the outside 2nd Floor deck; Afterwards, visit Member’s yachts which are tied-up on the quay and continue into the evening.
