"Welcome!"

"THIS IS WHO WE ARE"

We Are...an eclectic group of life embracing, fun loving, boat crazed, water encompassed people living on the North Olympic Peninsula in Washington State. We are sailors, cruisers, fishers, kayakers, canoers, paddle boarders (well, maybe no paddleboarders yet, but we could be!). We boat safe. We have fun.

We boat the Pacific Northwest waters - we are subjected to strong winds, strong currents, no winds, no current, high tide, low tide, and mean low low tide & shoals, dense fog, light fog, cold waters, rare spots of warm waters, and busy traffic shipping lanes.

But we would not trade where we boat. We are rewarded with spectacular views of majestic evergreen-clad mountains and snowcapped mountains, the solitude of miles of wilderness and prolific wildlife, breathtaking fjords with an overabundance of dramatic waterfalls, innumerable anchorages, and intriguing small ports and townships. You can't beat that. We love where we live, where we play and where we boat.

We are men, women, children and grandchildren. We are cruising dogs and cruising cats. We have youth, we have seniors and we have youthful seniors.

BOATING SAFELY - Although we are an active fun loving bunch, we are very serious about our number one priority, Boating Safely, for all our members and fellow boaters we meet on the waters. We teach wisely, we learn enthusiastically, we play hard and we boat safe.

That's Who We Are. That's What We Do.

"one of the keenest pleasures of boating is an unforced gregariousness among previous strangers, which invites unhurried and easier conversation than we allow ourselves on land"  ~ Douglas Bernon/BoatU.S. Feb/Mar 2017
