[C320-list] Sailing in Seattle - October 2010

[Utility Email]

If you are going to sail a charter keelboat in Seattle for a day, I would try to charter a boat from Shilshole Bay Marina. It is the sailing mecca for Puget Sound saltwater sailing. I have heard good things about Wind Works Sailing Club. I believe that they are based out of Shilshole Bay Marina and I think that they have have day charter opportunities.  Their website link is below:

If you want to do some small boat sailing in freshwater, consider Sail Sand Point on Lake Washington. Their website is below:

Have fun in Seattle, it is beautiful out on the water from a sailboat.

If anyone has a recommendation it would be a great help in getting started. I don't how the weather is for sailing in Seattle in October, we welcome your comments.
