persuasions will have the opportunity to choose between two concurrent events: the Leukemia Cup Regatta on Elliott Bay and the first ever AquaQuest – a scavenger hunt for powerboaters – on Lake Union. The two events are fundraisers for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.
Leukemia Cup Regatta: Sail For A Cure
Skippers register their boats and
recruit their friends and colleagues to help crew and to raise funds. The course starts in front of the Elliott Bay Marina Breakwater to a mark at the Grain Elevators Pier 86, then to a mark off the Seattle Aquarium at Pier 59, then to a mark off the west end of the Elliott Bay Marina. There is a Racing Start and a Cruising Start. Elliott Bay Marina is offering free moorage for the night. For information or to register:

AquaQuest:
Get a Clue & Make a Difference
An inaugural event, AquaQuest, is a
fun-filled scavenger hunt on Lake Union designed specifically with powerboaters in mind. All that is required is a boat, inquisitive friends and a sense of adventure. Teams will compete against each other to decipher clues, travel around the lake to solve the mystery and complete the challenge. Sponsored by NMTA Grow Boating Committee.

Snowbird Regatta Results
Due to unusually mild weather this
winter, the Snowbird Regatta, hosted by Shilshole Bay Yacht Club, fortunately did not live up to its name this season. The fifth and last race of the monthly series was sailed on March 20 around the buoys in Shilshole Bay in sunshine and temperatures approaching 70°, with a southerly breeze of about 8 to 10 knots. Twenty-eight boats sailed in the
regatta throughout the season, with conditions ranging from gusts of 28 knots in race #1 to drifting conditions in some of the races. The series was a great excuse to get up off the couch and get outside for some fresh air and exercise. Since the races were only once a month, it was not a major time commitment on the part of the skippers and crews, so a good time was had by all.
