NEW CRUISE !

July 4th at Quatermaster Harbor, Vashon Island.

The July 4th celebration in Quartermaster Harbor on Vashon Island centers around a massive community raft-up in the harbor and a premier professional fireworks display at dusk (around 10:00 PM) launched from a barge near Burton, which traditionally rivals Poulsbo's old display,

Fly your STYC Burgee so the club raft up/s can be spotted. Be prepared to drop you anchor!

We will have a raft-potluck Saturday evening prior to the fireworks. Please prepare dinner items to share across several boats. And please register below so we know how many to account for.

This member has personally seen several Quatermaster fireworks displays there in the past. I am hoping this year's 250th Anniversary will be a truly epic show.

Please feel free to send any of your own cruise photo's to our Social Chair Rachel at: social@styc.org

See you there!

Cruising Bingo is free to participate, but does not include moorage costs, and reciprocal requirements vary.
