Meet at Gate 1, Foss Harbor Marina, at 10am.  The sail will last approximately 3 hours, so we should be back at my slip by 1am.

The address for the marina is 821 Dock St, Tacoma, WA 98402.  The parking in the small lot at the marina is by permit only.  There is free street parking a little further west (towards the bay), or a pay lot between Foss Waterway Seaport and the next long building on the waterway, Rock the Dock.  Walk back along the water to Foss Harbor Marina and the first gate you come to will be Gate 1.  Give me a call at 253.820.7655 and I'll come let you in.

On-the-water practice for skills learned in the classroom sessions.
