Who says three days isn’t enough time to put together a sail? Not the SSYC, so come out out for a few hours! You don’t have anything cooler to do!
Labour day float up at Prevost was an amazing way to wrap up the heat of summer. 7 boats, including the infamous Slow Loris, who punctuated our masts with her stocky beauty. We had visitors from Ontario, new friends, fresh picked apple pie, and new boats to enjoy.
SV Fernweh will be doing a relaxed weekend cruise up to Howe Sound with friends (and some kiddos) and skipper/biologist Jacqueline will be leading the charge on a beach clean up.
We are planning on some casual beverages, lolling in the sun and learning about sea life.
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’.
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.
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.
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.
