Let's Go Sailing & BYOB Picnic

About this event

Let's go sailing aboard *Zephyra*! **No sailing experience needed!** Zephyra is Sailing Seattle's newest racing sailboat, a 70-foot high-performance ocean racing sailboat. She is named after the Greek mythological west wind and the historical Puget Sound steamer *Zephyr.* This beauty has some notable races dating back to 1995! * 1st to Finish – Transpac 1995 (Los Angeles → Honolulu) as *Cheval* * 1st to Finish – Pacific Cup 2000 (San Francisco → Kaneohe) as *Pegasus* * 1st to Finish – Cape Town to Rio 2017 (Cape Town, South Africa → Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) as *Runaway* * 1st to Finish in Division – Transpac 2017 as *Runaway* * 3rd Overall – RORC Caribbean 600 2017 (Antigua) as *Runaway* I am personally loving racing and sailing in SLU, the Sound, and the Bay so getting to sail on this 70-foot beauty is a dream. We are looking to book a 2-hour daytime sail on Sunday, September 20th, departing from Shilshole Bay Marina where I have heard parking is *better* than other marinas. We will get to see the Olympic Mountains, the Seattle skyline (duh), Bainbridge Island, and maybe even Mt Rainier on a clear day. We will be sailing past Golden Gardens Park where we might see seals, sealions or sea birds. **This event is BYOB** (beer, wine, whiskey, chai, cheese, charcuterie, sandwiches, sliders, parathas, hummus, you wanna eat it, you CAN bring it!) so I will be bringing some non-alcoholic beverages to share. From my experience sailing, I like my food and drinks put in boxes or bottles where I can cover them again in case the sailboat starts heeling. **RSVP'D does NOT mean your ticket is reserved.
