To all in Seattle and to the Boating Community of the Salish Sea,

As we try to make sense of what has been happening around the world, decisions need to beAs we try to make sense of what has been happening around the world, decisions need to bemade for the safety of our friends, family and community. With that, it is with profound sadnessthat we announce that a decision has been made that we must cancel Seattle Yacht Club’sOpening Day Boating Parade.

This event is no small feat to pull together. So much time and effort has been put intoThis event is no small feat to pull together. So much time and effort has been put intopreparation by the over two hundred plus volunteer members of the Opening Day Committee.That preparation includes the coordination with Seattle Police and Fire Departments, KingCounty Police, U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary and Homeland Security. To all of them, we say thankyou. We couldn’t make Opening Day happen without you.

We also want to thank all the time and effort put in by the University of Washington Men’s andWe also want to thank all the time and effort put in by the University of Washington Men’s andWomen’s Rowing Teams and Windermere Real Estate for their organization of the Opening DayCrew Regatta and Windermere Cup races. We know that it was not easy for them after the Pac12 made their announcement to cancel all sports for the remainder of the academic year.

Commodore's Cruise: The Timbers on Pender Island - Cancelled  ::  Cruising & Dinners

COMMODORE’S CRUISE - CANCELLED

The Commodore’s Cruise is a volunteer run event held every year on the May long weekend. Again, this year the theme will be “Chilling Out” with friends & family. This Cruise is the biggest cruise of the year and always wildly successful and fun. Timbers is provided to our Club by hosts and Honorary Members Bob and Diane Conconi. The property has a heated outdoor pool, spacious grounds with some playground equipment, a gazebo with a fire pit and a drying shed, with a bathroom. It is located across from Beaumont Provincial Park where there are ample anchoring opportunities and park mooring buoys.   Moorage can also be reserved at Poet’s Cove by phoning 250 629 2111. This is a very busy weekend so early registration is encouraged. RVYC will arrange day shuttle service from the anchorage or Poet’s Cove to the dinghy dock provided at Timbers.  As there are no cabins or camping sites available at Timbers, members wishing to drive over for the Cruise may wish to Google “Pender Island Tourist accommodation” for appropriate recommendations.

This year we are encouraging self-directed activities for those who don’t want to just veg out and enjoy the camaraderie of fellow cruisers. Options are hiking, arranging a golf game, organizing teen or young family games, participating in the ducky race, joining a musical jam session in the evening etc. Other activities are still being considered and are in planning stages such as using the Club kayaks & paddle boards which will be brought to Timbers and perhaps a talent show contest for all ages.  It will be up to Members to decide what they wish to do. 

If you have any questions or wish to volunteer for anything please don’t hesitate to contact Ellie Conconi  -
