for a gathering of boats,” explains Chris Wallace, first-mate on the SchoonerZodiac. “This will be an opportunity for the many charter sailboats with homeports throughout the Salish Sea to meet in open water and sail together to a common destination.” On Friday, the windjammers will
converge at Thatcher Pass, then continue on to Lopez Island for an old-fashioned clam bake on the beach with crab and oysters at Spencer Spit. On Saturday, the gam will move to Friday Harbor, with an event at the Cask & Schooner Public House & Restaurant. Sunday will conclude with one last peaceful sail past. “The winds are really good in
October, with crisp autumn days. Historically we have some fresh early morning fog and strong afternoon winds to sail by,” said Wallace. Passengers can choose bookings on
the Schooner Zodiac, Spike Africa, Mycia, Dirigo II, Lavengro or Mallory Todd. Private sailing vessels are also welcome to join in the event. More information is at

Offshore Academy October 8
Have you been thinking of cruising
offshore, or racing offshore but are not sure what you need to know, what equipment to take, how to set up your boat? The members of the Pacific Cup Yacht Club are conducting an Offshore Academy and presenting a series of events. The Academy events are designed
for ALL ocean sailors, both new and experienced, racer or cruiser, skipper or crew. Topics will include: Sails, Electrical, Medical and Communications and many other topics specific to offshore sailing. The purpose of the Offshore Academy seminar series is to provide more succinct sharing of offshore sailing knowledge. While some of the information is targeted for Pac Cup racers preparing for the 2012 race from San Francsisco to Hawaii, any sailor interested in learning about ocean sailing preparation is encouraged to attend. The Pacific Cup Yacht Club is hosting
the second in the Offshore Academy series live on Saturday, October 8 at the Richmond Yacht Club, Richmond California. For those out of the San Francisco
area, the seminar will be broadcast live via a webinar. Anyone out-of-the-area can view the seminar via the webcast and will have the ability to interact with the speakers and each other by posting questions via the webinar. Preregistration is required; go
to
http://pacificcup.org/event/11/ offshore-academy-2-video to sign up. If you missed the first session, it is also available for viewing, go to the website for instructions on how to view session one.
Depending on Seattle area sailor
interests, the Three Tree Point Yacht Club will host a Seattle area live webinar location for the planned future Academy events. Other Yacht Clubs wishing to
