We just experienced an absolutely unforgettable four-day cruise to Langley! Thanks to our dedicated cruise host, Commadore Brad Lewis, we were swept away in fun, camaraderie, and excitement that truly filled our hearts. MSA flooded the Langley marina with an astonishing 24 boats of every shape and size, filling the docks and waters with energy and joy. The mighty 74-foot Gypsy Wind, carrying the Sea Scouts, stood proudly as our largest vessel, while the charming 24-foot pontoon Toona brought a delightful charm to the event. This cruise was a gathering where racers and cruisers come together marking the beginning of the warm weather season. We shared thrilling beer can boat races, heartfelt potlucks, a decadent Belgian waffle bar, mind-stimulating MSA Trivia, and so much more! The weekend was blessed with perfect sunshine for the best club in the world. Now on to the upcoming cruise to Back Bay! This anchor out wagon wheel raft up event is so much fun I can't help but burst with excitement. Expect double the ducks this year and a bigger wicker duck to burn. We are swapping out the dessert contest for a deviled egg contest this year. If you have a food sensitivity, please reach out ahead of time so we can attempt to make it inclusive for all. Showing you duck attitude will earn bonus points towards awards. We will be needing early arrivals and 35'+ boats to volunteer to be starting anchor boats. An itinerary will be sent out soon with a list of fun events, arriving plans, and departure plans. Let's get out there and do this again! Enjoy the beautiful drone photos from Mike Bellgardt with the Sea Scouts!
Kingston HOSTs: Linda and Grant SV Mei Li
We had a perfect Kingston cruise with pirates! Thank you to our amazing hosts Linda and Grant for planning such a fun weekend in such perfect weather. We had 21 vessels attend and 3 people attended by ferry. There were fun crocheted beards, a scavenger hunt, and pirate themed relay races. We gathered in the event tent for a potluck dinner and wind down.
Port Ludlow
Host: Tom and Sandy SV Hula Girl
In a boat on the choppy blue sea,
The wind laughed and tossed us with glee. With a splash and a sway, We lost track of the day, But we smiled at the wild, salty spree!
I would like to start with a massive thank you to Tom and Sandy Buus for an amazing St. Patrick's Day themed cruise to Port Ludlow. We had fun limericks, beautiful hike to waterfalls, shamrock shaking, fire pits, and great company. We had 14 boats push through the spicy water conditions and enjoy the festivities. While most of everyone decided to depart on Monday instead of the blustery Sunday, both Sea Scout boats showed what determination and skill can achieve.
