Do you have any summer sailing adventures planned? Are you one who likes to have “stretch” goals to keep you motivated and off the couch? The January 20th SSSS General meeting will feature Jesse Wiegle, NW Maritime’s “Race Boss”, who will share how you and your crew can participate in the races and cruises sponsored by the center, including the Race to Alaska (R2AK); the Salish 100, which is a seven-day cruise from Olympia to Port Townsend; and the WA360, which is a human and wind-powered race that starts in Port Townsend, goes to Olympia, and returns to Port Townsend. In addition, we will hear about the Harstine Island GT sponsored by SSSS.Also, we will have four pre-meeting skill & knowledge round-table sessions beginning at 6:00 pm.
