April 2023

This will be a joint cruising event with Sloop Tavern Yacht Club (STYC) and Corinthian Yacht Club of Seattle (CYC) from May 27 – 29 to go to Mystery Bay State Park on Marrowstone Island. A few years ago, we did this with CYC Seattle. This year we will have three great clubs participating.

Some of the organized activities for this event are:

• Saturday, May 27: evening welcome happy hour
• Sunday, May 28:
  • Mystery Bay Goat farm tour
  • Nordland tractor parade
  • Marrowstone winery tour (transportation help needed)
  • Human powered craft race (tender, paddle board, kayak, canoe –
    almost anything without a sail or a motor is fair game). There may be
    prizes for the race.
  • Potluck BBQ
• Monday, May 29: open / departure day.

All boats can anchor and/or raft up or use a state park buoy. It is also possible to drive over for this event. We are looking for 1-2 vehicles to help with winery transport.

Friday night option Port Ludlow.

Please fly your PSCC burgee. If you are in more than one club, fly all your burgees. Please monitor VHF 69 for the cruise.

Cruise leader for this cruise is SV Bardo. If you have any questions, please contact Greg
via the PSCC contact form. Also, if you plan to go on this cruise, please let me know
via the contact form.

Here are details for next weekend’s 37th annual Circumlocution of Bainbridge Island race and raftup (April 29 – 30).

Race from West Point to Liberty Bay. Choose the northern route or the southern route. After crossing under the finish line (the power lines entering Liberty Bay), we’ll raft up in the Northeast of Liberty Bay. As always the trophy goes to the SECOND PLACE. See this year’s hilarious race rules written by Steve Hulsizer below. Thank you Steve!

Too many barnacles slowing you down? No problem! There’s always the Perseverance Award. The Perseverance Trophy is awarded to the boat that just won’t give up. You might miss the Horrors D’Hoover competition, but at least you persevered!

Finally, after the race, we’ll hold the much anticipated Horrors D’Hoover competition. Yes, bring your best horderves and you’ll be immortalized on the club Horrors D’Hoover Trophy!
