Our Annual Splicing Party

Each year, the Marathon Sailing Club holds a Splicing Party in conjunction with the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary to splice eyes for the mooring pennants  used when  mooring on our local reefs. These moorings eliminate the need for anchoring and thus protect our fragile local reefs. Our members donate their time each year splicing eyes for these mooring lines.
