SUMMARY:SALISH 100
DESCRIPTION:Overnight stops along the route are Henderson Inlet\, Longbranch\, Gig Harbor\, Blake Island Marine State Park\, Kingston\, and Port Ludlow Marina before reaching our final destination in Port Townsend. Due to the Salish 100’s length and challenging waters an application must be completed prior to joining the event. Information: Salish100.org\, facebook.com/groups/285180382147515/ and for questions please email directly at info@salish100.org \nThe fleet of small boats range from SCAMPs to Whitehalls\, wherries\, sharpies\, melonseeds and flatiron skiffs; this includes a variety of smaller production sailboats and dozens of home-built sailing and rowing boats. \nAlong the route\, small-boat skippers from across the states and other countries will experience everything the Salish Sea has to offer: currents racing through narrow channels\, tide rips\, sandbars\, rocky shores\, wonderfully protected anchorages\, wind conditions ranging from flat calm to small-craft warnings\, encounters with wildlife \, and some new friendships that’ll last a lifetime. Many of the participants come from inland states to experience saltwater boating—tidal ranges of up to 14 feet—for the first time. Others drive thousands of miles to attend. \nThe Cruise works its way from Olympia to Port Townsend at 10-16 nautical miles a day\, with overnight stops at: \n\nHenderson Inlet\nLongbranch\, Filucy Bay\nGig Harbor\nBlake Island State Park\nKingston\nPort Ludlow\n\nThe final day of travel brings cruisers to the victorian seaport of Port Townsend. \nMore information can be found in the Cruise Information Packet.

SUMMARY:Atlantic Challenge
DESCRIPTION:Every two years\, a dozen nations convene for a friendly competition and cross cultural gathering were crews showcase their seamanship skills in a series of rowing\, sailing\, docking\, knot tying and navigation events\, and build friendly ties with the international crews.\n\nBeyond on-the-water skills\, the Contest will further global understanding and build friendly ties internationally. is one small way we can help move quarreling humanity toward a path of cooperation and peace. We believe getting young people together in boats\, learning difficult manual skills\, competing for shared success and living and eating together for 12 days has the power to transcend cultural\, political and linguistic barriers. Indeed\, this is the basis for the development of trust\, connection and friendship.\n​\nContestants are young adults: all crew members must be over 15; at least half will be under 22. \n\n \nThe Contest events take place in the Bantry Bay gigs\, which are copies of 18th-century French Navy Captain’s gigs. These vessels are 38ft long and are powered by three sails and ten oars. Each nation has their own vessel for the contest. \nLance Lee\, of Rockland\, Maine\, co-founded the Atlantic Challenge International Contest of Seamanship with Bernard & Michelle Cadoret\, of France in 1984 as a way to bring young adults of different cultures together while also preserving traditional seamanship. The first two gigs Liberté and Egalité were built at the Rockport Apprenticeshop\, in Rockport\, Maine and the first Contest was held in New York City in July 1986. \nMore than 80 gigs have been built by 16 nations for participation in Atlantic Challenge. Typically 12 nations gather for the biennial Contest of Seamanship. \nThere has been a Contest every two years from 1986-2018. Atlantic Challenge USA is hosting the 2024 Contest.
