Let's Go Sailing & BYOB Picnic

Let's go sailing aboard Zephyra! No sailing experience needed! Zephyra is Sailing Seattle's newest racing sailboat, a 70-foot high-performance ocean racing sailboat. She is named after the Greek mythological west wind and the historical Puget Sound steamer Zephyr. This beauty has some notable races dating back to 1995! 1st to Finish – Transpac 1995 (Los Angeles → Honolulu) as Cheval 1st to Finish – Pacific Cup 2000 (San Francisco → Kaneohe) as Pegasus 1st to Finish – Cape Town to Rio 2017 (Cape Town, South Africa → Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) as Runaway 1st to Finish in Division – Transpac 2017 as Runaway 3rd Overall – RORC Caribbean 600 2017 (Antigua) as Runaway I am personally loving racing and sailing in SLU, the Sound, and the Bay so getting to sail on this 70-foot beauty is a dream. We are looking to book a 2-hour daytime sail on Sunday, September 20th, departing from Shilshole Bay Marina where I have heard parking is better than other marinas. We will get to see the Olympic Mountains, the Seattle skyline (duh), Bainbridge Island, and maybe even Mt Rainier on a clear day. We will be sailing past Golden Gardens Park where we might see seals, sealions or sea birds. This event is BYOB (beer, wine, whiskey, chai, cheese, charcuterie, sandwiches, sliders, parathas, hummus, you wanna eat it, you CAN bring it!) so I will be bringing some non-alcoholic beverages to share. From my experience sailing, I like my food and drinks put in boxes or bottles where I can cover them again in case the sailboat starts heeling. RSVP'D does NOT mean your ticket is reserved. You will have to reserve your own ticket to join on SailingSeattle.com. Please ensure you choose September 20 at 2:30 pm. Dress warm, bring sunnies, hats, sunscreen, your favorite food and drinks, and your excitement!
