Most of our members live on the Eastside, however this is by no means a prerequisite.

Come Cruise With Us

Our latest cruise to Everett was one for the books. The weather on Saturday afternoon was beautiful but the wind, tide and river current was unforgettable. I seem to recall hearing something about a cow...hmmmm The steak, on the other hand, was delicious. Thanks to our hosts for a wonderful dinner.

Our next event is the Wagon Wheel at Andrew's Bay in July. We look forward to seeing everyone there.

It must be boating season in Seattle. The skies are gray and the air is damp from the rain. That doesn't seem to stop those of us who cruise with the Bellevue Yacht Club, although our cruising weekends seem to be filled with sunshine.

The lastest edition of the Compass Rose will be in the mail on Tuesday. There we so many wonderful pictures taken over the last month but there just wasn't enough room. They have been posted to the Members Only section of the web site.

Our cruise to Bremerton was absolutely fantastic. The Armed Forces Day Parade was fun for all ages. Watching the tank chew up the asphalt was one of my favorites! After the parade and visiting on the dock, it was time for dinner. Once the smell of lighter fluid disipated, the rest of the evening was just as enjoyable as the rest of the day. We had a wonderful treat with the fresh king crab and the chocolate fountain.

Boy have we been busy since Blake Island! First there was "Dogs on the Dock" followed the next weekend by Opening Day. Our Officers sure looked sharp saluting the Seattle Yacht Club during the parade and it sounds like our visitors enjoyed themselves.

Last night was our Cinco de Mayo dock party. The sun even came out for a visit. Josh did a great job breaking open the pinata. (Thanks Jeannette!) It's a good think Frank decided to buy a couple more of those raffle tickets. His purchase paid off big!

Next weekend it's off to Bremerton and Armed Forces Day. It sounds like David has a fun cruise planned.

Our June dock party is not to be missed. The theme is BYC Spirit and we will be celebrating our Past Commodores! If you need fresh, new BYC spirit wear, contact Jon and Holly. They can get you all decked out.

Our "Dogs on the Dock" show is hitting the road. The next stop is the Kirkland Marina. Stay tuned for more information on "Traveling Docks on the Dock"!

What a fabulous time at Blake Island! The weather was soggy on Saturday but no one's spirits were dampened. Captain Blake didn't disappoint anyone either. ARGH!!! Congratulations to Sid and Karen. They are the most recent winners of the 50/50 Raffle! A huge thank you to our hosts (Paul, Roma, Frank and Jeannette). Nothing tastes better than a pancake breakfast on the dock. You ordered perfect weather for Sunday morning.

Come join us Saturday at the Newport Yacht Basin from 11:30am - 2:30pm for Dogs on the Dock. Everyone is welcome! If you're thinking of joining a yacht/cruising club this is a good opportunity to check us out.

Opening Day is just around the corner. Have you registered with the UW?

The April Edition of the Compass Rose has been printed and mailed. For those of you who are afraid that your vision is failing, have no fear! I was having cartridge alignment problems. Some copies came out ok, some did not. I have updated the on-line link so if you need to, you can read it off the website.

Just a reminder to register for Blake Island and Opening Day. You should have received an email from the Fleet Captain this past week.

If you are interested in the Bellevue Yacht club and would like to meet some of us before coming on a cruise, join us Saturday, April 24th for "Dogs on the Dock". We will be grilling hot dogs from 11:30am - 2:30pm at the Newport Yacht Basin Dinghy Dock. Come enjoy the fun and frivolity.

For those of you who missed it, last night's "Spring Training" dock party was a blast, literally! The rain was pounding and the wind was howling but Jon and Holly had us set up nice and cozy. Thank goodness for heaters, canvas and good friends!

What a fantastic St. Patrick's Day weekend at Gig Harbor. Everyone got their green on and the Turkey Vegtable Soup won best recipe. Great job Karen!

Our next event is the first Dock Party of the season. Join us on the Dinghy Dock April 2nd for Spring Training. When you come, check out our polished up bell and spruced up dock. Thanks John for your contributions! I believe we will also get a bit of a history lesson regarding the bell. Hmmm...
