  • Arrival note: According to Ports and Passes, low tide at Friday Harbor is at 9:04am and high tide is at 5:31pm (+7.94). 

  • 6:00PM: Potluck on the dock. Bring a dish to share (most consider this their dinner). 

Saturday (8/31)

  • 2:00PM Pool Party – pot luck sides, we’ll supply bar-b-qued hamburgers and hot dogs with all the fixins. Come take a dip in the pool, relax in the hot tub or just socialize in the wind protected pool area. No Glass!

 

Sunday (9/1)


 

  • 9:00AM: Breakfast is omelets in a bag. We’ll put the ingredients out, you zip what you like into your zip lock and we’ll cook it in the crab cooker!

  • 10:00AM: Dinghy Poker Run – watch your phones for a text message with instructions.

  • 5:00PM: Bayshore Banquet Room Catered Dinner: Prime Rib and Salmon buffet. Bartender service available.

Monday (9/2)

  • Muffins and coffee on the dock before departure. 

  • Departure note: It's always good to check this yourself, but Ports and Passes shows that low tide at Friday Harbor is 11AM (+.33), you have +3 until about 8AM, and will have +3 again at 2:15PM. The channel can be transited by most boats at zero tide. (Josh will send out some screenshots of highly accurate charts with thousands of soundings to all registrants before the cruise. I have entered many times with my last boat and my current boat, both of which have personal bathymetry generators recording the depth every second and displaying on the charts after adjusting the number to correspond to a zero tide.)

As mentioned above we have to allocate moorage by 7/29. Lopez has reserved the entire outer breakwater for us, in addition to our outstation that we have. Everyone will pay the same for moorage regardless of whether you are moored at the outstation or on the breakwater.

All money paid for moorage for boats on the outstation docks goes towards the cruise so the more boats I can fit there the more we collectively benefit. Those who are assigned to the marina will need to call in and pay directly to the marina, those assigned to the outstation will be charged through our website/Clubexpress.
