Redfish Raft Up 2011
Redfish Raft up attendees did not let less than optimal weather conditions Labor Day weekend 2011 put a damper on their fun. Attendees aboard the Star Gazer enjoyed entertainment by Kelly McGuire. Proceeds from Redfish Raft up are used to bring awareness to Galveston Bay and to help fund GBF program projects, including our wetlands restoration projects and Boater Waste Education Program.

Kelly McGuireIn Fond Memory
![]() | We dedicate Redfish Raft Up to Tom Lober, of Star Fleet Yachts, who passed away in 2009. Tom was always kind to GBF, and it was his idea several years ago to put together what became the annual Redfish Raft Up. We continue to miss Tom dearly and will always have fond memories. |
