Cruise to Petaluma — and Don’t Forget Your Masts
“Bring us your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free … and, oh, yeah — bring us your masts!”
Petaluma is one of the great locations that Bay Area sailors can cruise to without heading offshore. The Petaluma Yacht Club is readying for a busy cruise-in season and kicking off with this year’s PYC Memorial Day festivities.
The Memorial Day Weekend, May 22–25, features a Western-themed, four-day “fun for all.” [This sounds perfect for a certain racing editor we know.…]
This year’s theme is “Hoe-Down in River Town!!!” All y’all, give an eyeball to the fun events planned:*
- Jig Juice Cocktail Contest – Friday afternoon on the dock
- Sundowner Happy Hour with PYC Vittles – Friday at sunset
- Hen Fruit Stir and Sowbelly Breakfasts – Saturday and Sunday
- Rhinestone Cowboy Costume Contest – Saturday evening
- Ace High Dinner and Honky-Tonk Line Dancing – Saturday night
- Wear your Denims and Diamonds!
- Build Your Bungo – Float Your Boat Contest on Sunday
*PYC reserves the right to modify the schedule, and we’ll do our best to keep you informed.
RSVP using this form and pay by May 8. Early Bird Deal: RSVP and pay by May 1 and receive five tickets good for beverages!
