This is a training sail for students on board my Islander 40, Tatoosh.  We will be sailing on Lake Washington out of MBYC in Bellevue.  The MBYC clubhouse is a large 3 story white building on Meydenbauer Way.  Parking is allowed in the MBYC parking lot; please leave a note on your dash that you are a guest of Doug Penny.  Tatoosh is located on dock 3, the most western dock at MBYC.  Bring finger foods and containerized drinks to share.  Your skipper is a pescetarian.  No red wine.  We will not be stopping to eat, but will eat while underway and when time allows.  Wear non-marking, soft soled shoes.  Come prepared for the predicted weather.  On the day of the sail, contact me via phone or text message only.  206-786-3684
