For safety…turn on your deck/spreader lights to show you are welcoming kids and pick up any loose items off your dock to avoid trip hazards.
Remember to set your clock. At least you may get an extra hour of sleep.
Halloween is near so its time to put up the decorations,
and carve the pumpkins!
Be it funny, scary or boring……show your creative juices
(and one-up your neighbor)
Instead of candles, there are LED candle lites available.
Great weather and a nice breeze…thanks to the STYC and all that participated!
Check out the STYC website for results.
Here’s a chance to put away the flower pots, roll up the floor mats and take your “house” for a spin. It’s a fun “race” around the buoys open to all liveaboard sailboats. You don’t have to have any racing experience! …and there’s plenty of time to plan ahead!
See the race instructions for details.

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).
