Club Cruising
Round Saltspring Cruise – May 18-21
Join the Ruehlens (Perry, Lyall, Calla and Seija) and the Vines (Kevin and Wendy) for a three-night Round Saltspring Cruise during the long weekend in May! We’ll free up space for all the visiting Round Saltspring Race boats at the Club and have a blast at our own speed! Here’s the proposed itinerary:
Friday afternoon, May 18:
Meet and anchor at Russell Island, for Happy Hour and potluck appetizers on the beach.
Saturday, May 19:
Make our way (probably past/through the racing fleet) to Maple Bay Yacht Club, who have enthusiastically endorsed our proposal. We will take advantage of reciprocal moorage there and have a potluck finger food dinner together on their grounds. We might even bring out the croquet set.
Sunday, May 20:
Leave in the morning and head for Princess Cove on Wallace Island. Sansum Narrows will be cooperative at that time. Perhaps an afternoon walk or beachcomb, possibilities of prawning along the way, and definitely Happy Hour and potluck appetizers aboard the Ruehlens’ Inside Passage.
Monday, May 21:
Catch the morning ebb tide down Trincomali, back home.
If you plan to come on the cruise, please contact Fleet Captain Cruising Tanya Van Ginkel as soon as you know you’re coming, so that we can confirm space for you at Maple Bay Yacht Club. They need to know our numbers and boat lengths ASAP, so they can plan to accommodate us all. We hope you can join us!
