Dates: Jobbie Nooner 2024: Friday, June 28th | The Longest Raft Off 2024: Saturday August 10th | Jobbie II 2024: Saturday September 7th

Lake St Clair is known as a boating hotspot where boaters from all over form rows by tying up to each other and mingle with other boaters for good fun in the sun. Every year thousands of boaters gather near Harsens Island, Michigan for a full days festivities to gather their boats (2000+) and let loose. Raft Off typically occurs at Little Muscamoot Bay (map) while the Jobbie Nooner's (the other big annual Boat Party) are located around Gull Island. Raft Off is sometimes known elsewhere as a Tie Up but, to us, it'll always be "Raft Off" and is a public, community affair. Raft Off takes place on the 2nd Saturday in August, Jobbie Nooner is on the fourth Friday in June and Jobbie Nooner 2 is on the first Saturday after Labor Day.

The 1st Day of Fall marks the end of Summer but The Moot only knows when it's sunny and then us diehards come out for one more hurrah! Check it out in this album. Looking forward to seeing everyone again next year!

Jobbie Two 2023 - It was an overcast and chilly day so only a few diehards made it out but we still had fun! Sorry, no pix of the dancers in action but I did put my drone to work to capture what was there.

Raft Off 2023 was a great success. So many boats, so many people, a brief bit of rain and lots of sunshine! You can view the album here. Sadly, due to varoius issues, this is only about 2/3rds of the photos I took. Plus, the line was so long there was no way I could walk it all. Sorry if I didn't see you. I'm at the Moot various weekends, look for me and give a wave. I'm happy to take your photos for you. ENJOY!

The Fourth of July at The Moot was a blast! Thousands of sunseekers had a blast under perfect skies. I captured some of the fun for everyone to enjoy. Check out this album on my FB Page to see all the photos, just a small slice of a huge event.

JN: Due to rain, many of us elected to visit nearby Little Muscamoot Bay the day after Joobie Nooner and this was the result. I hope you enjoy these images and will, perhaps, join us out on the water for some fun in the sun. You can view the album on my FB Pictures By Alex Page.

Jobbie Nooner 2020 Photos are here! Sorry for the delay but FB decided to issue a 3 day ban on my account (FB Jail) because of a photo that was part of the album. They claim it contains "Nudity or Sexual Activity" - Here is the photo, as it was originally posted to FB, which triggered the ban.

Jobbie Nooner 2019 Photos are here. It was hot outside but the water was cold (and levels were high) so not as much action in the water or between boats - fewer than normal photos - but good times were to be had!

Raft Off 2018 was a mixed success - we didn't achieve the world record due to a technicality (there was a single boat gap in the line, but we had over 2000 registrations at that time. Yes, that close!), however, Everyone had a great time with perfect weather and an awesome community party. Photos are available via this FB Album.
