Happy Saturday everyone. Rusty here again. This is just a quick rendezvous update. We are dangerously close to opening up registration for the 2025 rendezvous. We still have a couple of details to sort out before we can, though. Expect us to “go live” with registration in about two weeks.
In the meantime, we want to thank all of the fantastic companies that have donated time and money to our little group. Their generosity and sponsorship is what makes our rendezvous possible.
Registration is now open for our 2024 PSGBOA Rendezvous happening at Roche Harbor, May 9-12. We recommend you arrive a day early on Wednesday, May 8 to take advantage of complimentary moorage that day, courtesy of Roche Harbor Marina. We’ll be meeting on the dock for an informal happy hour to get everyone acquainted before starting in earnest first thing Thursday morning.
It will be hard to surpass last year’s event and especially the glorious weather, but please join us in trying to do just that! Due to popular demand, we’re Keeping It Simple Sailor again! You can expect the usual benefits of our informative and educational seminars with some past and new speakers. Fresh Lime Kiln Cafe donuts will be there, too! This year, we’re including a general interest presentation you won’t want to miss. It’s sure to delight all attendees! Join the fun, mingle and share sea stories, meet our new GB owners and new attendees, dine on Thursday’s delectable Welcome Dinner in the pavilion, sign up for Chef Shaw’s Cooking Demonstration, engage with our generous sponsors while beer and cider tasting, enjoy Roche Harbor and all it has to offer as well as take a trip to Friday Harbor, if desired. Our popular “Women On the Water” (WOW) training program is back again this year, courtesy of NW Explorations. Lastly, spend an early Saturday evening mingling with members under the big tent, all while enjoying heavy potluck appetizers, followed by rivalry and revelry. Yes! rivalry and revelry!
This year, PSGBOA will take your boat moorage information during the registration process. We will directly communicate your expressed moorage needs to Roche Harbor Marina so you don’t have to. Simple.
