Daffodil Weekend

Eight Queen City boats will be heading south later this week for the Daffodil Weekend at Tacoma Yacht Club: Nirvana, Merleau, Rock-a-Bye, Big Brivet, Kayweedin, Scooter, Wendi-i, and Silver Lining.

The event gets into high gear Saturday with boat decoration at Big Brivet and Kayweedin about 10 a.m., followed by a "Token Parade" of QCYCers who will participate or support our team in the Trivia Contest. This event is lubricated by Daffy Drinks, which are so named because that's what too many will make you.

 On Sunday, the weekend includes an impressive flag ceremony, followed by the Daffodil Parade, in which Queen City has two boats: Big Brivet as the "Flag Boat" carrying the officers and their spouses and Keewaydin, a 1910 boat that will represent us in the decorated boat/classic yacht category. Both boats will be adorned in daffodils and new banners saluting our Centennial.

 Why not drive down Saturday or Sunday? We can use your help decorating and/or your enthusiasm during the Trivia Token Parade Saturday or the marine parade Sunday.  

A general schedule of the weekend is attached.
