Plan to arrive a few minutes early as a nominal parking fee must be paid on site or on-line after 2 hours. Please bring non-marking sole shoes, your personal floatation device (PFD) if you have one, and appropriate outerwear based on the days weather forecast. Be prepared for both cool temps, wind and rain, and, moderately warm weather. Spring is a transition season and it is possible we could have highly variable weather conditions during the sail. You may bring any food that is “day sail boating compatible” (does not require heating, will not make a mess on deck) if you wish.
Location: Port of Everett, South Docks, Gate A, slip A-15 (meet at the gate on the north side of the Anthony’s Restaurant in Everett, not the Woodside!)
