PSCC Meeting  September 21, 2018  Friday 7:30pm at North Seattle College
Gifford Family  Voyaging With Kids Book  Girls on Dock
Behan and Jamie Gifford, have sailed more than 50,000 nautical miles, cruising around the world, with their three children, Niall, Mairen, and Siobhan. Leaving from the PNW in 2008, aboard their Stevens 47, s/v Totem, they've visited 48 countries and territories, from Mexico to Martinique.

Behan, a UW graduate with a career in consulting, marketing and advertising, chronicled her families adventures at www.sailingtotem.com, and with cruising families wrote Voyaging with Kids, a guide to family life afloat. Jamie Gifford, a recovering racing sailor and experienced offshore sail designer, has returned to work as a sailmaker and rigger for offshore and regional sailors. Behan and Jamie provide coaching services, to mentor hopeful cruisers towards a successful life afloat.

While you may have seen the Giffords on Good Morning America, or at another event, for the Puget Sound Cruising Club, Behan will talk about Hidden Treasures. She'll talk about positive experiences that occurred in unexpected ways or places along their route. She will have plenty of pictures and experiences to share with the Puget Sound Cruising Club.  Everyone is welcome at our meetings and events, so don't miss this first Fall meeting!

Come to the September 21st PSCC meeting to find out more about this fun race, and download the Race Rules PDF. Race around Blake Island with ridiculous and frustrating handicap rules. Winner pours the Tequila. Join us for a fine, warm summer raft-up, in local protected Blakely Harbor. Download the Raft-up Tips PDF and come, even if you've never anchored before - we are a pretty helpful lot. Relax, again there are no sign-ups, no one to rsvp, so just show up and surprise us. PSCC raft-ups are a fun way to meet sailors, and share a meal or two. Yea, there is usually a breakfast potluck too. Here's more pics of the boats and crews from last years Tequila Race.

See Events page for future meetings and cruises.
