LOG DODGE RACES, EVERETT
FRIDAY EVENINGS

Camano Sail and Power, LLC, is a member of the Milltown Sailing Association in Everett.  Below are the schedule of races and a map showing how to get to the clubhouse.  For reference, note especially where Anthony's Home Port  is and the location of 14th st.  which you turn on to drive down to the Everett Y.C. and the Milltown clubhouse.

We will be taking our Hobie-33 Samurai  down to the Log Dodge races on every Friday except for  the first one,
June 11.

All former or current small boat or keelboat students are invited to crew during these fun and low key events.  They are a wonderful way to practice what you have learned and, in the case of small boat sailors, get a taste of what big boat sailing is like.

There are several items to pay attention to if this is of interest to you.

First, you must be able to be on-board the boat at the north guest dock no later than 5:30 PM on that Friday.  We will be departing right at 6:00 in order to be able to make the start line in time.  

Second, you must let us know by e-mail  not later than 7:00 PM on Thursday if you will be there. We will put out an e-mail around 9:00 PM on Thursday saying who the crew is for that week.  It is first come-first served.

Third, you must have your own PFD and appropriate sailing attire.  SHOES WITH WHITE OR OTHER NON-MARKING SOLES ARE REQUIRED.  The races usually last until 9 or so, sometimes longer if the wind dies, so bring warm stuff and wind/rain breakers:  it is cool anytime on the water and once the sun gets low, it can get very nippy.  We race rain or not.  Sun screen and sunglasses (polarized if possible).  Snacks and liquids (non-alcoholic) are always a good idea to bring along.  Samurai has a porta potti on board.

The modest food and drink at the clubhouse afterwards cost a few bucks, not much.  The post-race gathering of lie-telling and excuse-making and story-telling is easily as much fun as the race itself.
