The Zero-Notice Yacht Race!

Sad there is no competitive cruising Saturday the 6th?? Well guess what doofus, there is! Come out to practice your maneuvers against the worst of the best!

After the laps around the bay, come raft-up for an ice cold swim and a warm beer by Kits Beach. Bring your anchors, a couple fenders, and some fun friends. Big heavy boats will finally be popular for once ;)

Port Graves, Gambier, Howe Sound

to Jul 21

Port Graves, Gambier, Howe Sound

  • BC-99 BC, V0N Canada (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

SV Vesi is headed out to Howe Sound to Gambier, Keats or possibly Anvil (!?) for some important birthday celebrations.

Here is how this works:

  • When you see the slothy Gin Pennant fly, come on over for a beverage.

  • Or if we are around and the conditions are good, perhaps we can organize a raft up!

SV Vesi is a cute little light blue Yamaha 33’.

Tribune Bay, Hornby Island

  • 5547 Seawright Rd Hornby Island, BC, V0R 1Z0 Canada (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

SV Easy Goin’ will be anchored up on Hornby over the weekend for a good old fashioned shin dig. Join skipper Trevor and crew.

Here is how this works:

  • Get in touch with Easy Goin’ on Slack and make a plan

  • Generally speaking: drop a hook and paddle over (Trevor’s Gin Pennant is literally ALWAYS flying), or if he is around, see if you can organize a raft

SV Easy Goin’ is a 1970’s ketch rig Islander with a proper old bow sprit. Hard to miss.

Pasley Island, Howe Sound

  • 402 Pasley Island Shoreline Gibsons, BC, V0N 1V0 Canada (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

SV Fernweh and SV Vesi will be anchoring at the NE corner of Pasley Island, weather dependent, on Saturday July 6.

Here is how this works:

  • Find the sloth burgee flying and find a place to drop your hook (Vesi is a light blue Yamaha 33’)

  • When the Sloth Gin Pennant (aka the Party Burgee) flys, come on over for a beverage!

Details to be shared on Slack and possibly Instagram if we have our shit together.

Wallace Island Float Up
Jun
30
4:00 PM16:00

Wallace Island Float Up

Our annual float up, a tradition almost a decade old, but only under the Sea Sloth burgee since 2018.

Details:

  • Lots of anchoring space, but be prepared to stern tie, it will be busy, excellent holding. (Good backup anchorage beyond the bay between the rocks in good holding)

Here is how this works:

  • When you show up at the bay, find a place to drop your hook.

  • If someone has the party burgee flying, paddle on over and introduce yourself, the party burgee is all the invitation you need. In turn - hoist your party burgee if you’re feeling social!

  • Regardless, at 4pm on June 30, float out to the middle of the bay in your tender/paddle board/blow up pineapple and meet some fellow sloths. Make friends, plan cockpit drinks, be merry.
