&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;This cruise is currently Full, but please sign-up on our Waitlist. Boats do indeed cancel. you could potentially be moved up to the "Go" list....&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;font face="Impact"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 24px;"&gt;Langley Cruise&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font face="Impact" style="font-size: 24px;"&gt;APRIL 18-19, 2026&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Grab your binoculars &amp;amp; point your bow north to Possession Sound, toward Hat/Gedney Island for a relaxing, casual (and VERY Respectful) float with 7+ of our native returning gray &amp;amp; humpback whales for a magical Saturday afternoon.&amp;nbsp;Plan to arrive early enough to allow time before heading in to the Langley dock.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong style="font-size: 1em;"&gt;On the Dock&lt;/strong&gt;:&amp;nbsp; there will be a&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong style="font-size: 1em;"&gt;Potluck&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;BYOB Happy Hour at the dock picnic tables at 5:30 pm. We are in a town so dinner is your own choice. Make sure to check with local restaurants for their reservation policy's prior, if you plan to eat out. &lt;em style="font-size: 1em;"&gt;They book &lt;strong&gt;FAST&lt;/strong&gt; (!)&lt;/em&gt;. Evening shenanigans may include a walk-a-bout up to the local Spy Hop watering hole for fried pickles &amp;amp; beer, perhaps Jazz at the wine bar, or simply a bit of boat hopping socializing.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Register here&lt;/strong&gt;:&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.styc.org/event-6586114" target="_blank"&gt;https://www.styc.org/event-6586114&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As with all cruise's there will be a Waitlist. Once a boat has cancelled, the next boat will automatically be moved over from the waitlist in chronological order. That boat will then be notified via email.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Port of Langley Marina&lt;/strong&gt;: ch #66A.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;STYC&lt;/strong&gt;: #72.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;All Moorage Rates incl: electricity, lighting, sewer, water and garbage removal.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Overnight Guest Moorage&lt;/strong&gt;:&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; $1.50 per ft LOA per night&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font face="Impact" style="font-size: 30px;"&gt;NEW as of Jan 3, 2026 !!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.styc.org/resources/Pictures/Screenshot%202026-03-16%20at%207.43.37_AM.png" alt="" title="" border="0"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;u&gt;Remember&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;:&lt;/font&gt; "A&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#001D35" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;ll vessels in Washington state must stay at least 1,000 yards away from endangered Southern Resident killer whales, maintain a 7-knot speed limit within 0.5 nautical miles, and disengage engines if within 400 yards"&amp;nbsp; - Washington Dept of Fish &amp;amp; Wildlife -&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Therefore, keep&amp;nbsp;1000 yards (1/2 mile) between you &amp;amp; any Resident Orca's, 200 yrds from any Transient's, Grey's or Humpbacks. "Position yourself parallel to the whales. Do not leap-frog or stop in the path of any whales". I suggest decide on a spot, turn your engine off &amp;amp; simply float. If lucky, a whale may saunter by as they feed. &lt;u&gt;Never&lt;/u&gt; interrupt the path of a whale.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
