The 2019 All Fleet Rendezvous was again hosted at the Poulsbo Marina, the weekend of May 31-June 2, and we couldn’t have asked for better weather or company. The Signature crew sailed over on the Fountaine Pajot Lucia 40 catamaran, sporting the King 5 Evening Magazine flags from the mast and their logos on our hull. As we came into the harbor, we were all greeted by a grey whale! What a way to start the weekend!
We had almost seventy boaters show up to meet, mingle, check out each other’s boats, as well as the beautiful Scandinavian town of Poulsbo. We were graced with beautiful blue skies and warm weather all weekend. Absolutely perfect!
Friday evening we hosted cocktails and hors d’oeuvres on the dock, with the teriyaki meatballs winning the prize. The next morning was a continental breakfast followed by an informative, and fun, anchoring seminar given by Robbie and Tori. After lunch, we all took the catamaran out for a sail and practiced anchoring.
That evening Tori got the CSR bow thruster blender going for happy hour and made some fabulous rum punches. Then we all contributed to a potluck on the dock and ate our way thru the rest of the evening.
Sunday morning the Signature crew made their famous blueberry pancakes while a couple of our guests surprised us with doughnuts from Sluys Bakery in Poulsbo – thank you!
After a wonderful weekend and acquiring many new friends, we all headed for home. And we’re already looking forward to next year – June 5-7, 2020.
