The Factory Rendezvous - Disco at the Dock

Posted on

Tuesday, November 18, 2025

Thank you to the more than 400 Ranger Tug, Cutwater, and Solara family members who joined us for the 2025 Fluid Motion Rendezvous at Roche Harbor Marina and Resort on San Juan Island. We were lucky with great weather for most of the weekend, and the schedule was absolutely packed with seminars, happy hours, games, prizes, and plenty of good ol’ fashioned fun on the docks. The fishing and crabbing derbies were as competitive as ever, especially with the pinks showing up this year. A big thank-you to Brett and Michelle Phillips from Michelita for hosting the inaugural pickleball challenge, that one is here to stay! Kevin Carlton’s Chip ’n Sip happy hour brought out some fierce competition as always. Things get serious when you’re playing for free moorage at the one and only Roche Harbor Marina. Thank you to Channel Surfing for keeping the party going on the dock, and to Expedition Sea Nest for joining us this year to share the story of their Canadian and Bahamian adventures. It was a highlight for a lot of us. Every year when we read through the feedback, the same two words show up more than anything else: community and fun. And that really sums it up. This gathering exists because of all of you, the best community of boaters on the water. Thank you for being part of it, and we’ll see you next year! Scroll down to watch the daily recap videos and relive the weekend.
