We enjoyed organizing the first Salish 100 in 2019 and pulled it off without charging registration fees. Total out-of-pocket cost was about $350, which was covered 100% when some appreciative sailor passed the hat. I would encourage any readers who want new events in their local area to do something similar: If you build it, they will come. This year, three of us are organizing the Pacific Northwest Small Boat Festival, July 26-27 at Port Ludlow Marina, near Port Townsend. Still room for a few small boats, so check out details and an application form at www.pocketyachters.com - Marty

TX200 is brutal, maybe like R2AK only in 100 degrees, 99% humidity and UV 12 sun… forgot to mention mosquitoes and rattlesnakes ! Just ask Josh!!
