Happy Friday everyone. Rusty here again with another 25th anniversary Rendezvous Friday update. 

Procrastinators take note. Early Bird registration ends this coming Wednesday, April 15th. Register before the 15th and save a few dollars. Registration closes April 29th. See the registration form for additional information. We know it’s long this year, but we have many questions this time.

Click Here to Register

 
  • Early bird registration this year is $225 per boat.
  • First timers will receive a $25 discount.
  • After April 15th, the cost will go up $25 per boat and the first timer discount will end. Register early!

Roche Harbor gives us a free night Wednesday for those staying to Sunday. Don’t miss out on your free night – join us Wednesday. 

We have great seminars scheduled again this year. Mark Bunzell from the Wagonner Guide, S3 Maritime, Petro Clean, Guyer Boatworks, RBAW, and more. Ralph and Collette Gamble will talk about their experience on the Great Loop, Back Country Medical will discuss handling medical emergencies in remote areas. Unfortunately, Brian Smith will be unable to join us. He feels there is too much going on for him right now to attend. In his place, we will have the folks from Port Townsend Shipwrights and their lead mechanic.

We have also scheduled …

  • A guided walking tour of the San Juan Islands Sculpture Park led by the president of the sculpture park’s board.
  • A spectacular dog show. Fame fortune, and fabulous prizes could be yours with categories like owner/dog look alike, best tail wagger, matching outfits, best smile, best paw shake, and best dog trick. The competition will be fierce. We will be looking for a few volunteer judges too.
  • Live music from the Dangerfields Saturday evening.

Roche Harbor is beautiful this time of year!

A big, big thank you to our sponsors. We could not put on this event without their generosity and support! Please think of them first when you need help with your boat. 

As always, email us rendezvous@psgbowners.org with all of your questions, comments, suggestions, and so on.

We are looking forward to seeing all of you at the 25th Rendezvous at Roche Harbor! You won’t want to miss it. 😉

More to come soon …

Friday Rendezvous Update

Happy Friday everyone. Rusty here again with your Friday Rendezvous update. 

First, two important dates. Early Bird registration ends April 15th. Register before the 15th and save a few dollars. Registration closes April 29th. Click here to visit the registration form. See below for more info.

The always popular Women on the Water trainings sponsored by Northwest Explorations are filling up fast. Reserve your spot now. Your $20 donation goes to the Orca Network this year.

So let’s talk food …

  • Our welcome dinner Thursday night is catered by Roche Harbor and takes place in their banquet facility. Chef Shaw has created a great menu for us this year.
  • Lunch Friday is a BBQ on the docks. Burgers, brats, veggie burgers, and chicken sausages along with all the fixings are on the menu cooked by our own volunteer grill masters. If you are a grillmaster, let us know – we will put you to work. 😉
  • Our beer and cider tasting is Friday afternoon along with the sponsor fair. I count this as food because we will have mixed nuts too. And cider is fruit, right?
  • Saturday’s dinner is a potluck. We provide the ham, you bring the sides and the salads. Live music from the Dangerfields will follow.
  • The always popular Roche Harbor doughnuts will magically appear each morning on the docks. Yum!


Are you a grillmaster? This could be you!
