Ahoy, matey!
Registration for the Lady Washington Tall Ship Battle Sail Tour opens Tuesday, June 24 at 6 pm. Yo Ho, Yo Ho! A pirate’s life for me.
The Lady Washington Tall Ship Battle Sail Tour offers attendees the opportunity to enjoy a 3-hour cruise on the replica brig Lady Washington. The ship embodies maritime history of the last 1700’s and early 1800’s.
The three-hour Battle Sail features booming cannons, close-quarters maneuvers, and a taste of 18th century maritime life aboard tall ships. Passengers are invited to raise the sails, verbally taunt their opponents, and sing the chorus of a sea shanty for A Three Hour Tour!
This tour is scheduled for July 19, 2014. The day will begin with a driving tour beginning 8:00 am at University Audi (4701 11th Ave NE, Seattle, WA 98105) arriving at Cap Sante Marina (1019 Q Avenue, Anacortes, WA 98221). Alternatively, participates can meet at Cap Sante Marina at 1 pm. Audi Club Northwest has reserved an exclusive charter aboard the Lady Washington. The sail will depart from Cap Sante Marina with a cruise from 2-5 pm. Upon returning from the sail, a no host dinner is planned at a restaurant TBD.
This tour is a unique opportunity to enjoy the history of a time gone by, when sailing ships traveled the seas. This is sure to be a popular family event and perhaps a once in a lifetime opportunity. This is another in a series of tours scheduled over the years to bring to Audi Club NW members some of the many spectacular reasons we choose to live in the Pacific Northwest.
The cost for this tour is $45 per person. The brig has room for only 45 passengers, so be sure to reserve your place on this tour early. Children under 18 may attend.
The tour leader for this event is Mark Yonker, and he may be contacted for more information at 253-670-8575 or <[email protected]>.
