Blake Island Cruise
May 3-4, 2025

For you sailors who have not quenched your appetite for fun, food and partying after tomorrow's Opening Day festivities, you are in luck! Our much-anticipated shakedown cruise is set for next weekend May 3rd and 4th at Blake Island.

Shrimp Cruise Update: The Washington Department of Fish and Game has cancelled Shrimp Day this year due to low numbers or shrimp. But fear not, for our shrimp-loving tradition continues with a twist! Steering us through this adventure will be Larry Witty aboard the Salish Spirit.

Don’t forget to pack your hiking boots! We’ll be continuing our traditional hike around the island, a perfect chance to stretch your legs and breathe in the beauty of our surroundings. We’ll drop anchor on the northwest side of Blake Island, offering easy access to the beach and barbecues. It’s the ideal spot to relax and revel in the great outdoors.

Should you arrive before Larry, please form a landing party to secure a campsite/barbecue area. The club will reimburse any costs incurred in securing our dinner spot. Please bring firewood and food to cook and share. Also, pans and cooking utensils to whip up your signature dishes are essential.

This cruise is not just a getaway; it’s a wonderful opportunity for a spring shakedown. In previous years, we’ve had a flotilla of 10 to 15 boats. Let’s make this year even more spectacular!

For any information needed, please contact Larry Witty (login required.)
