About this event



🎉 Weekend Highlights

  • 🛶 Blindfolded Dinghy Race
    Chaos meets teamwork! One rows blind, the other gives directions (hopefully better than Siri). Trust, laughter, and zigzagging guaranteed.

  • 🔍 Scavenger Hunt
    Clues, surprises, and floating treasures. Compete solo or as a team — bragging rights await.

  • 🎖️ Saturday Colors Ceremony
    Gather with the fleet as we raise the flag in honor of friendship and good seamanship. At sunset, we’ll lower it together with a toast.

  • 🍖 Optional Saturday Dinner: Baby Back Ribs
    Let us deliver dinner right to your boat by dinghy! Ribs will be hot, tender, and delivered with a smile.
    (Details on how to opt-in are listed below.)


🌲 About Penrose Point State Park

Looking to stretch your legs or let the pup explore? Penrose Point offers 2.5 miles of forested trails and 2 miles of scenic shoreline, perfect for a stroll, a scamper, or just soaking up the beauty.

A dinghy dock makes going ashore a breeze — whether you're hiking all 237 acres or just heading in for sunset photos and some pine-scented peace.

Friends coming by car?
They’re welcome to join the fun by land with a Washington State Parks Discover Pass, available at the park.

  • Annual Pass: $30

  • Day Pass: $10


🧺 What to Bring

  • A finger food appetizer to share with your fellow boaters
    Want to join the fun? We'll be passing appetizer trays around the raft-up each evening for those who'd like to participate. No pressure — just good bites and better company.

  • Floaties, paddleboards, costumes (optional but encouraged)
    Bonus points for flamingos, pirate hats, or anything that floats and makes people laugh.

  • Your favorite beverages
    Sundowners and story-swapping go hand in hand.

  • Games, instruments, or good vibes
    If you have something fun to share, bring it!


🛥️ Want to Host Some Evening Fun?

We’re looking for host boats to lead lighthearted evening games — think trivia, charades, or your own creative twist.
If you're willing to volunteer, just let us know when you sign up — it’s a great way to meet your neighbors and keep the good times rolling.
