Saturday evening was the annual meeting of the Shilshole Liveaboard Association. The weather was cool, but the rain held off. We had about 30 people that came out to enjoy a hot dog and meet their neighbors. And… a big thank you to the 7 local businesses that generously donated gift certificates for the raffle!
The SLA is a neighborhood association to foster education, safety and community with the liveaboards at Shilshole Bay Marina. If you are interested in getting involved, please contact your Dock Captain (whose information is posted inside your gate).

This meeting will be held on the marina plaza from 4-6 pm.

First place gets $10,000, cash. Second place gets a set of steak knives. Everyone else gets to find out what they’re made of. Any vessel that’s human-or-wind-powered can enter. The only way to win is to cross open water, navigate through tidal rapids, hug a coastline carved by glaciers, and keep going until you reach Ketchikan. Teams have 36 hours to complete this without getting rescued.
Good luck Shilshole sailors!
