Raft Island Rendezvous | Aug 29 - Aug 31 (Sept 1?)

[Jessica Aarhaus]

Hi all, 

Is anyone planning on, or considering attending our planned Raft Island Rendezvous, Friday, Aug 29th through Sunday, Aug 31st? It's Labor Day weekend and I plan to be out sailing. We moor in Tacoma so Raft Island, which is West of Gig Harbor and North of Fox Island (South Puget Sound), is pretty doable for us. Most of us working folk, including myself, have Monday off which means we could expand the meet up through to Sept 1st. Come when you can and stay as long as you can! 

Best regards, 

Jess

Presto will be sailing north toward PA, Victoria, and San Juans this
week through Sunday, so we won't make it to Raft Is.

Alas we won't be there.  But we were last year.  Nice place.  The anchorage was quite a party scene during the day, but I think they mostly left at sunset.  Here's my log entry:

 

We jumped in the kayaks to escape the noisy scene and had an interesting paddle around Cutts Island and then the larger Raft Is in peace.  Came back and had dinner in a bit more subdued crowd, then wondered if the scene would quiet down enought at night.  A glance at the chart had us hauling up the jib and sailing the mile or so to Horsehead Bay to sleep in quiet.  It was a pretty, home surrounded place deserving of another kayak paddle.   As the sun hit the horizon we anchored just off the entrance sand spit which appeared to be a small nature reserve or at least there were no homes there so it was a quiet, unobtrusive place to spend the night.  We soon realized it was pretty cool spot because the high tide over the low spit allowed us to see the sea surface on the other side, plus a spectacular sunset developed over the empty spit toward to Olympic Mountains. 

 

That view might be a bit uglier now with the Lk Cushman fire.  Marilyn read it is the largest fire on the Olympic Peninsula since 1951.  Have fun!
