Hog's Head: Sucia Island; At least 5 tent sites are available for camping plus we have
the shelter. Should be a great time as usual. Do not miss this once a year extravaganza.
Bring something for the potluck. Dead pig will be supplied.
Aug. 9 - 10 - Tri Dyes Multihull
Messabout
Come on over on to the Kitsap Peninsula for a rendezvous at Greg Jacobs’ house on
the northeast side of Dyes Inlet. Sail or trailer over to the Tri Dyes Multihull
Mess-about. No boat? . . . No problem! We have extras!
We want to sail all day Saturday then have dinner. The best winds tend to be in
the late afternoon and evening so we should take advantage of the evening breeze. Minus 2'
tides are between 10 and 11 AM so plan your launch or cruise accordingly.
Saturday evening after sailing we will B-B-Q. Greg and Donna will provide a gas
grill, hamburgers, hot dogs, buns, and soda for dinner Saturday night. If you need more
appealing sustenance, bring your own grillables, salads and/or beverages.
Dyes Inlet is approximately 1 or 2 miles wide by 3 to 5 miles long (N to S) and
connects to Puget Sound just east of Bremerton via the Port Washington Narrows. We will be
at the north end of the bay so currents are minimal. For the bigger boats; the anchoring
is good in front of my house (exposed to chop on a strong southerly) or tie up at the Port
of Silverdale dock 3/4 mile across the bay to the west. We have a little house but a big
yard, a big bay, and a big beach when the tide is out. Bring your trailerable and off the
beach day sailors, sailboards, monohulls, canoes and kayaks to join in the fun.
The wide Port of Silverdale launch ramp and dock should accommodate most multihulls.
The beach is pea gravel, cobble, barnacles, and shells so bring a piece of carpet or
plywood if your bottoms are sensitive to abrasion.
Contact Greg Jacobs to RSVP and receive directions
for this fabulous event!
Aug. 23 - 24 - Port Ludlow Bay Marina
You need to call 1-800-308-7991 and leave a credit card # to reserve a spot at the
dock. Tell them you’re with NWMA. Do it sooner than later. You can always cancel if
something comes up. This years Rendezvous is sponsored by Multihulls NW who will buy us
breakfast on Sunday morning. We also have the BBQ area and a gas BBQ reserved. Bring
something to cook for Sat night. Lots of stuff is available in the marina store.
