Cruising and Racing on the Salish Sea
Pender Islands Yacht Club is a diverse and interesting group of Sailors and Power Boaters who love adventuring in the beauty of the Salish Sea we get to call home. We help each other in skill development, maintenance and upgrades - and raise a glass now and then. We organize weekly sailboat racing September through June and monthly cruises throughout the Gulf Islands during the summer. Meet-ups and special events happen on the 3rd Monday of each month from October through April at the Bistro and Pub at Port Browning Marina. All are welcome. Annual membership is $75 per family. We also support Pender Island's popular summer Junior Sailing School.

Saturna Winery Cruise
Roy Moore
The Bistro is open for breakfast from 8-11am - or bring your own, and then we cruise over, in whatever craft you desire, to the winery on Saturna for wine tasting and lunch - which is apparently wonderful. They have a 115 ft dock and 5 mooring buoys that they are willing to reserve for us. They also offered a discount per head on lunch if we reserve ahead of time. This year we plan on having an overnight option in Winter Cove. More details to follow.

Chemainus Theatre Cruise
John & Tom
We will welcome you to Thetis when you arrive on Tuesday, then have dinner in the pub there. Wednesday is lunch and then the play at the Chemainus Theatre which usually starts at 2pm. If the group is 10 or more, there is a discount on lunch and tickets. All rave reviews about the buffet lunch. We can book you into the marina - just let us know how many nights you want to stay. More details to follow.
