Sunday Luau

Our tradition at the Blue Water Cruising Club is to have a Hawaii style pit cooked dinner. The process starts at 10:00 a.m. when the wood in the pit, loaded with lava rock, is set aflame, with many hoses soaking the surrounding brush, trees and canopy, to avoid setting the Island on fire. An important part of the tradition is the sacrafice to the pit of a small clay statute of George Geiger, a founder of the Club and after whom our Cove is named. Holly Scott, a lifelong member and daughter of another founder, creates the sculpture out of clay mined from her spot on the Island.

While the fire burns down, the members prepare salads, scrub and wrap the potatoes and the pork, beef and tuna are prepared for the pit.

Later in the day, after the food is ready, the crowd gathers on the beach for the feast.
