This is the Mountaineers kickoff event to begin the new sailing year. Five boats will sail to Port Madison and raft-up together for an on-the -water pot luck. We will return to the dock by 7:00pm. This is an introduction to sailing event. No sailing experience necessary.
Rhythm's moorage is in Portage Bay, so this trip will include a passing through several bridges and the Ballard Locks!
Sat March 26th at 9:00 am (an earlier start than the rest of the fleet to allow time for bridge and locks passage).
