Prance: On a Boat!**

**not actually on a boat

Summer’s almost here! Set sail with us on the gayest cruise ever, for the first nautical-themed Prance. Bring your swim trunks and your flippy floppies, sailor hats and mermaid tails. Practice your nautical rope-tying skills, because you may just find a sailor who needs their jib rigged. We’ll be busting 5 knots, we’re gonna fly this boat to the moon somehow!

We’ll serve ye some fine BC ales and grogs, by jove!
