The 'Class of 2000' Oak Harbor potter group

Greetings friends,

I would like to host a Potter meet in Oak Harbor June 3,4,5.

Not Deception Pass, and not the San Juan Islands.

Oak Harbor, like we did in 2000.

Launching our boats Friday afternoon and retrieving Sunday afternoon, the tides work fine. I've reserved one "horseshoe" out on our F dock, which is where we moored all together in 2000. (Click here for pictures of the 2000 gathering).

If anyone doesn't know, Oak Harbor is situated with wonderful scenic waterways that include an easy harbor to daysail in, city lights to enjoy after sunset, easy anchorage outside the marina, or docking all together in a group for fun socializing, and bigger water to sail in out in Saratoga Passage and Penn Cove, home of International Whidbey Island Race Week. It's always fun to sail to Coupeville for ice cream (about two hours one way). Sometimes we have such strong winds you won't want to be out in it. Sometimes we have the loveliest little breeze that only a Potter can move in. The majority of the time we have beautiful breezes by afternoon. I cannot in any way tell you what we'll have that weekend, but to those who have sailed here, ya know it's worth it! If we have a gale, we'll reef the main and put up the blade and go enjoy some heavy weather sailing on a keelboat instead! (My Catalina 27).

Saturday evening we'll all walk to town for Mexican food overlooking the harbor. (2 mile walk).

I hope someone with guitar or otherwise will come and make it wonderful that way.

Please send email if you would like to attend.
