We need to find one additional spot for a sailor or we will not be able to take everyone.

Registration: You will need to register here - https://www.ultracamp.com/info/upcomingSessions.aspx?idCamp=1107&campCode=SOW

There is a $10 charge per sailor.  Also shirts available? Fun!

Additional Cost of Regatta : $20 per sailor for ferry / gas to give to your driver.   Please bring money for food.

Camping : We will be camping at 941 Crow Valley Road. You are required to camp with the team.  Please let us know if you need camping supplies.

Food : Dinner will be provided Saturday night and lunch/snacks provided on Saturday and Sunday. Shirts will also be available for purchase. Parents, can you be in charge of making a dinner plan for Friday?

Ferry Reservations : Ferry Reservations will need to be made here - https://secureapps.wsdot.wa.gov/ferries/reservations/vehicle/SailingSchedule.aspx?cookieCheck=true  we will need to make the reservations at 7:00am on Wednesday.   I would like to see if we can get everyone on the same ferry or two.  My preference is to be on the 3:45 sailing from Anacortes, I know that this means kids leaving school early, but it makes it so we won't be setting tents up in the dark (also maybe time for a little hiking and / or other adventuring!).  The other option is 7:00. Please let me know which ferry you could make.  We will try to make the 5:15 return ferry. 

Please let me know if you have any additional questions!

Help Needed Making Cradles

 Parents,

We could use a volunteer to make some more boat cradles for the dock.  They are simple would cradles with fire hose as straps.  We would pay for the material, but need someone who has time to build these in the next week or so.  Please let me know if you are interested and I can get you more details.  Here's a picture showing what the cradles look like. Thanks,
