EYC Bremerton Cruise

Over Memorial Day weekend (May 27-30) we joined the Edmonds Yacht Club in Bremerton for the annual Harbor Days Festival. There were 42 boats in attendance and we had a wonderful time. The cruise had a pirate theme so Bob hung our flag as soon as we arrived in the marina. We won 3rd place and won a free night's moorage in Bremerton for a return visit!

The weekend was full of making new friends, touring each other's boats, and just relaxing. One of the highlights was having dinner on the USS Turner Joy destroyer. We toured the boat and had a great barbecue dinner catered by Famous Dave's.

One of the highlights was the christening of Stargazer. Because we are new at the cruising business and being yacht club members, we did not know that we would be christening our boat at our first cruise. We were one of 5 and it was a lot of fun. Since the first mate on the boat before us accidentally dropped the champagne while trying to break the bottle, I was a little nervous that I would do the same. It went smoothly and Stargazer is now officially named!

Fortunately the weather held for us and even though it was not warm weather, it was very comfortable. We were even treated to a beautiful rainbow that we were able to capture.

We had a great weekend and are looking forward to our next EYC cruise. More friends to make and places to go!  How fun!
