Long Cruise Reservations

Planning t go on portions of the long cruise  to the South Sound, August 8-19. Please join any or all of the cruise. Just be sure to make reservations with me and with the marinas you will be visiting. Tell all marinas you are with the Queen City group. Here's the who, what, and when:

August 8-9 Bell Street Marina (Seattle) – Reserve a month in advance (July 7). Tell them you are part of the QCYC group. Cost: $5 for the pre-paid $5 reservation fee. Lots to do in downtown Seattle: Pike Place Market (possible tour), shopping, aquarium, galleries, shows, possible Mariners’ game (vs. Tigers). Dinner on your own.
