Perfect weather helped make this another great evening on the docks for the kiddies and their parents! D and E docks had a great turnout with lots of decorations, as I’m sure other docks did too. Thanks to all that participated.

SLA Annual Meeting
Thursday evening was the annual meeting of the Shilshole Liveaboard Association. The weather was perfect and we had about 60 people that came out to enjoy a hot dog and meet their neighbors. Dockside Mail, The Fuel Dock, and Seattle Sailing Club graciously donated gift certificates for the free raffle. Thank you!
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 every gate).
