7:30 Meeting at North Seattle Community College The Accidental Single-hander Greg Boehme (Bayme), Past PSCC Commodore and ring-leader of The TROPCS BAND (www.tropicsband.com) presents: The Accidental Single-hander. The voyage from Mexico through the South Pacific had been the experience of a lifetime but now ASIA, a 32 foot Valiant, languished 5,000 miles away in Fiji. A plan was devised to sail her back to the Pacific Northwest via Hawaii over two summers. This story is about how that plan went wrong….and right. Single-handing has been called many things: "pretty dumb" and "the Mount Everest of sailing" come to mind. We'll take a look at the tactics, philosophy, techniques, and lessons learned from a 2,300 solo mile voyage from Pago Pago (American Samoa) to Hilo, Hawaii. The evening will include video footage graphically illustrating the "good the bad and the ugly" as well as the truly "other-worldly" experience of 3 weeks alone at sea. |

7:30 Meeting at North Seattle Community College Cruising to Alaska with Toddlers a special presentation by Tor and Jessica Bjorklund When our twin sons turned one, we left Seattle for a 2700 mile round trip voyage to Glacier Bay, AK and back. Our vessel Yare, is a 32' steel home built gaff rigged ketch. She is fairly simple and does not have the luxury of refrigeration, hot water or separate cabins. We washed a lot of diapers en route and can tell you where every laundromat is from Seattle to Glacier Bay! It was an amazing trip with different challenges and different highs than the average crew experiences. |
