If you missed last year's rendezvous, then you really missed out! Don't miss out this year too!
Below is first of Eric's famous "UPdates". If you sail anywhere in the Pacific Northwest, or are interested in joining us by foot, car, ferry, airplane, etc, be sure to send Eric a note to get on his mailing list.
The big change this year is the addition of Friday as an official event day. Many will be arriving Thursday night - arrive when you can! Last year, every slip was full. Gary is working to make some additional room for us, and we'll get creative if we need to.
We are working on guest speakers and other activities. If you have any suggestions, please shout it out! We are looking to make this the biggest and best C42 Rendezvous ever.
