Notice to Mistralites and Would-be Mistralites

If you haven’t yet committed to Dave at the Gorge or Neko at Bumbershoot or some other such thing, you’re welcome to haul on halyards during an afternoon cruise on Mistral Sunday. David Derse and I want to test the engine so we can be confident on the way to Port Townsend next weekend. In the process, we aim to shoot the Montlake Cut and raise sails on Lake Washington. Engine and wind willing, and the wind has been very accommodating lately, we’ll head for the north end of the lake. We have a swim ladder so we could conceivable heave to or anchor and take a dip. We’ll have snacks and drinks on board and a brand new Porta Potty that needs, er, christening. RSVP to svwhim@yahoo.com, or on the day of, 206-799-9186.

We start getting ready at 12:30 p.m. and shove off at 1.
