San Juan Island’s Friday Harbor Sailing Club has had a busy summer with sailboat races, Mitchell Bay BBQ’s and numerous member cruises. Autumn is time to gather once again for indoor events, prepare for the big Round the County Race and other fall/winter boating activities.

FHSC invites interested boaters to attend our potluck meeting this Tuesday, October 8, at the Friday Harbor Grange. The engaging social hour begins about 5:30 pm and everyone ‘packs it in, packs it out’ including their dinnerware. This is followed by a potluck dinner and an educational meeting, which this week, is presented by Andy Schwenk, owner of Northwest Rigging.

The Friday Harbor Sailing Club is a friendly non-profit group of both sail and power boat enthusiasts, who organize, promote and encourage amateur sailing, sailboat racing and power boat activities. The group is a low key that knows how to have fun, not only while boating, but at meetings! New to San Juan Island? Want to become a member of the boating community? Give the Friday Harbor Sailing Club a visit.
