PSCC November Cruise to Bell Harbor

/ cruises

PSCC’s November Cruise/Raft Up is scheduled for November 23/24, the weekend before Thanksgiving, at Bell Harbor Marina in Seattle’s Waterfront.

The Port of Seattle is still suffering from the cyber attack that infected it’s system earlier this summer, thus preventing them from taking reservations. Will and Mike at Bell Harbor Marina suggest if you are planning to bring your vessel for the event to phone them the morning of November 23, 206-462-9567. If your vessel is above average length/width you may want to phone them giving them a “heads up” of your plans.

It’s too early for the Christmas Ships this year but the Seattle Waterfront walkway is now open.

/ meetings

Crew overboard rescue is an important concern to all Pacific NW boaters. Fortunately, today there are several techniques and resources to make overboard rescue easier. Margaret Pommert will discuss practical lessons learned from several overboard incidents, and demonstrate/discuss various pieces of MoB equipment.

Margaret has been doing sail training from Puget Sound to the East Coast where she worked with Navy Midshipmen. She has taught women Diesel Maintenance at Skagit Valley College and the Cruisers College program, and worked with the Sailing Foundation and the US Sailing International Offshore Safety at Sea hands-on training.

Meetings are held every third Friday of the month at the Puget Sound Yacht Club. The meeting is open to all, but we do ask for a $5 donation at the door to help pay for the venue and club expenses. Zoom attendees can make a donation by Paypal or credit/debit card here. We look forward to seeing you there!
