Opening Day of Boat Season, May 5th, 2012 (10AM)
Join the CAB celebrating the opening day of boating season in Seattle. It's a great day to be out on the water showing your Cougar Spirit! This is the last year on the Elmore tugboat, so don't miss this final opportunity! Uniform is the New polo shirt, jacket (some loaners available), and white pants/shoes. We meet at the Seattle Yacht Club, 1807 E Hamlin St near Montlake/520. We are asked to be there around 10am sharp, depart around 11am and the boat ride ends at the Meydenbauer Yacht Club in Bellevue, one option for pickup, and boats return to the Seattle Yacht Club afterwards.

The theme for the Cougar Yacht Club is Pirates, a nod to the coaching change and aquatic fun.

Parking will be limited, so please allow plenty of time for this is popular community event!
