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!
June 8th is World Ocean Day, reminding us that we all need to do our part to reduce the plastic we use and to always practice good environmental stewardship! As boaters, the ocean is our backyard, and our playground and just like we wouldn’t want to see plastic bottles and trash while hiking in the woods, we don’t want to have it in our waters, either.
All yearly registration Decals for boats in Washington State expire June 30th. Per the WA St. Reg. Requirements, all boats with a motor (including tenders) on Federal Waters (Puget Sound, Lake Union and Lake Washington) are required to register and, if not a Federal Documented vessel, must display registration numbers.
It’s easy to do online and the decals are ready the next day at the Ballard Licensing Office or they can be mailed to you. Tabs can be renewed up to 6 months before expiration so don’t wait for the last minute rush!
