Second Thursday Cruising Social: With Author Wendy Hinman
March 9, 2017 | 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM
Cruisers (and future cruisers) are encouraged to meet off the water every second Thursday. While our ultimate goal is to get out and enjoy ourselves on the water, the Second Thursday Cruising Socials lets us make our cruising experiences even better.
- Swap cruising stories and share suggestions, tips, and ideas.
- Share time with our long range NW, and blue water cruisers.
- Plan CYC cruises to all our local weekend destinations such as Kingston, Poulsbo, Port Orchard, Blake Island, Eagle Harbor, Port Ludlow, Gig Harbor, Tacoma, Port Townsend, and more.
Join us and enjoy the world of cruising with CYC.
This Week
On Thursday, March 9, 6-9pm, join us to hear Wendy Hinman, a long time CYC member, present her new book, Sea Trials, a true story. “In 1973, the Wilcox family sets off to sail around the world aboard the 40-foot sailboat, Vela. Thirteen months later, they are shipwrecked on a coral reef, with surf tearing a huge hole in the side of their boat.” Come hear what happens next. Join us for photos, stories and Q&A.
Wendy Hinman is the award-winning author of Tightwads on the Loose, the story of her 34,000-mile seven-year voyage aboard a 31-foot boat with her husband, Garth Wilcox, the teenage hero of her new book, Sea Trials.
A member of Corinthian Yacht Club of Seattle and an avid racer for more than 25 years, you may also recognize her from her presentations at various boat shows and yacht clubs or from her regular contributions to magazines, including local ones 48 North, NW Yachting, and Three Sheets Northwest. She is happy to have a new story to share.
Come find out the story behind the story.
