We have been doing a cruisers party here in the Pacific Northwest for about 13 years now. The original start was an unplaned get together of 13 boats at Sucia Island in our local San Juan islands. The party goes on each year and just gets biger and better each time. Bob from Lats and Atts fame laid clain to it as the PNW Lats and Atts party. In reality we have never let go of it as our own. We have not missed a year yet. This years party is on and will be occuring in Poulsbo Washington on the second weekend of August. The enjoyment and fun had have always been great and most of the partys Bob and Jody show up. I beleve they will be here this year. We always welcome them and thank them for what they do and have done for the cruising community. Cruising Outpost his quarterly magazine is alive and he is still afloat. So this post just serves to laet anyone know the party is on. The board wont let me post a link so for information go to pnwsailors.com and look in the calender of events for the party.
