Going Rogue

Round the County is arguably one of the best races anywhere. Two days, not the dreaded round the buoys, potential for orcas, party at Roche Harbor. What’s not to like. Well, this year like so many things, it’s not even there to like, though it would have been this coming weekend. Cancelled. But of course that doesn’t keep sailors from sailing around the county.

So, a group of sailors decided that the county needs to be sailed around this year, no matter what the Covid situation is. I’ll let their web site explain it all. But basically, it’s a take your own time, find your own berthage or anchorage, and enjoy the weekend kind of thing. They added this important note:

This is NOT a race or even an organized event. You are on your own, so embrace your inner rogue-ness and be safe and responsible on your cruise. Follow COLREGS (not RRS) and have the appropriate safety gear on board. Monitor Vessel Traffic Services (VTS) channels 5A (Seattle) and 11 (Victoria) as appropriate and be whale wise. Please respect all state and San Juan County COVID restrictions.”

For all you “cruisers” sailing around the islands, Bruce Hedrick is going to come up with a weather outlook sometime Friday. And we’ll have a wrapup here at Sailish post-event. In fact, if any of you want to take some pictures, send them to me here I’ll post them.

Below is a list of who’s going.

Sail safely!
