Port/Dock Captain meeting notes
Last Tuesday was the quarterly meeting where the Shilshole Marina and Port of Seattle staff share with the Dock Captains and moorage tenants the latest security and construction updates. Here are some notes…
Race Your House!
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. There is no entry fee, and you don’t have to have any racing experience. There’s a party the night before to explain the rules and meet your neighbors.
..and there’s plenty of time to plan ahead!

E-dock Rock the dock/Movie night
Sunday, E dock had an open-mic night followed by a movie at sunset! Several boaters on the dock provided singing, guitar, keyboard and harmonica talent for our neighbors’ enjoyment. At 8pm, everyone went home, grabbed a bite to eat, warm clothes and a chair and at sunset we rear-projected the movie Captain Ron on a screen on the back of a powerboat. Popcorn was served and about 20 people attended..some by dinghy. Great fun had by all!

National Night Out-Shilshole
It was another beautiful evening for the Port of Seattle Police/Shilshole Marina’s annual BBQ. Several hundred marina tenants enjoyed burgers, hot dogs, salads and refreshments with a live band to entertain.
This was the 16th year of this opportunity to meet and mingle with our Port Police and Marina staff to continue building a better community here at Shilshole. A big thank you to them for all they did!


Manzanita Bay, Bainbridge Island
A beautiful harbor with easy anchorage and often overlooked as one hurries to Poulsbo, Manzanita Bay is just to port after the bridge as you go through Agate Pass. You can go back to the quiet end of the bay or, as we like to do, stay out at the mouth for the sunsets. Though there is no formal beach or dock for the boating public, there are a couple street ends (public right of way) that will get you onto the island for walking or biking the trails and nearby parks.


Adrift paddleboards, kayaks wasting the Coast Guard’s time, money
“In the month of July, search and rescue crews responded to an average of one unmanned-adrift paddlecraft in the Puget Sound region every day,” according to the Coast Guard. Read the article here on MYNorthwest.com…
