Sail - Balance, Shilshole Bay Marina

IMPORTANT - Please read the information below prior to the session.

My boat, s/v Balance, is located at Shilshole Bay Marina - 7001 Seaview Ave NW, E Dock, Seattle, WA 98117. I’ll be meeting everyone at the E Dock gate @11:00am with a 11:30am departure. E Dock is located at the SOUTH END of the marina. Non-Permit parking is available in the first two rows next to the street. Street parking is also available.

STUFF Happens. If you have to cancel, please do so via email, svbalance2022@gmail.com no later than 24 hours prior to the Sail so someone else can join in. If you are running late the day of the sailing activity or last minute unable to attend, call/text me 206-660-0133.

NOTE: Space is limited. NO Show with no communication = Bad Karma

We’ll go over how to prepare the boat for departure, line handling etc. You will be involved in all aspects of sailing Balance with helming, tacking, sail trimming, etc. I put an emphasis on safety working with the winches as the loads you will experience will be quite high.

Bring a water bottle along with snacks for yourself and if you wish, items to share with the group.

Since our day will be sail training keep your food items simple. Please pack items in a soft sided bag or backpack and refrain from bringing hard sided coolers as they take up space and are hard to store.

I have a limited supply of lifejackets so please bring your own if you have one, kayak Paddling Life Jackets work well. Sailing (or hiking/biking) gloves, sunglasses, hat, and sunscreen are always recommended. Please wear NON-MARKING shoes, no boots.

The weather is predicted to be in the 60s with lite and variable winds. It’s always cooler on the water and the wind will be chilly so dress accordingly.

This is the North West and weather can change between now and Saturday. If the weather changes to unfavorable conditions I will contact you prior to Saturday via the phone numbers you’ve listed.

Please feel free to call me if you have any questions or concerns

Look forward to sailing with you,

Lani
