Hi: I got it. One of the things I’m going to need this winter is help organizing for the Salish 100. Being out of state, it seems daunting - shuttling boat trailer, figuring out harbors and resupplies. I might have to come over and do a scouting trip on the road. If anybody on the Monty thread is going to be in the Salish 100, I wouldn’t mind getting advice, etc. Thanks, Pete Winter Sky (Zimowsky) outdoors writer and photographer www.getoutdoorsnorthwest.com <http://www.getoutdoorsnorthwest.com/> Twitter: @zimosoutdoors "Be with Tahlequah" Tahlequah, you did this.

Peter, I did the Salish this year with my M17 Poppy and am signed up for next year. Contact me directly and I'll be glad to share my insights. Les les dot schuldt at Gee Mail dot com On Fri, Nov 8, 2019 at 10:18 AM Peter Zimowsky via montgomery_boats < montgomery_boats@mailman.xmission.com> wrote:

Pete, The marina where the Salish 100 begins, Swantown in Olympia is easy to find from I-5, and they provide an area for parking your your rig and trailer while you are sailing. Try to get to their launch ramp at high tide, much more launch friendly than at low tide. However, they do not provide a rinse or wash facility at the marina and you will need to tow your boat on the trailer a few miles to get to a coin op facility where you can squirt the saltwater off your boat and trailer and trailer axle. There is a Farmers Market and grocery store within walking distance as well as several restaurants, cafes and even a couple of microbreweries. Does the Salish 100 permit use of motors? There is a gas station with real leaded gas if you need it for an older kicker motor.

Does the Salish 100 permit use of motors?
Yep. The one thing they want is boats to be able to travel at a minimum of 3kts when there is no wind - idea being at this sleek can make it from stop-to-stop during daylight hours. :: Dave Scobie :: M6'8" #650 :: SV SWALLOW - sv-swallow.com :: former owner M17 #375 SWEET PEA - m17-375.com :: former owner M15 #288 SCRED - www.freewebs.com/m15-named-scred/ On Fri, Nov 8, 2019, 10:45 AM Steve Trapp <stevetrapp@q.com> wrote:

Peter. The Salish 100 covers a lot of water but it really isn't all that challenging IMO. I type this having cruised the area since the mid-70s. There are challenging places: Tacoma Narrows - can have fast currents, at times VERY fast, so you go with the flow, and be aware that the winds channel through the narrows sometimes becoming locally strong. Don't get into the Narrows in a strong wind v strong current situation - for S100 this means a strong northerly v. the ebb tide. Point No Point - though not a narrows can have extremely strong currents, tidal rips and strong wind. Like Tac.Narrows don't want a strong northerly v. ebb tide. Last year this was where the S100 fleet meet the heaviest winds and waves (had a southerly so it was a run) and it was sporting. Foulweather Bluff - this is North of Point No Point at the entrance to Hood Canal. The tide rip here can be nasty and the current strong as the waters of Hood Canal and Puget Sound are rushing past. Strong northerly wind and a strong ebb are especially not fun. This is really the last challenge place and it passed when heading to Port Ludlow. IMO the most challenging leg is from Kingston to Port Ludlow as there are really no good bailout places between the two locations. The rest of the Sound, meaning all south Sound and locations excluding specific places discussed above, is really like lake sailing. Puget Sound in July usually is sunny, highs in the 70s or lower 80s (rare but more common now) and lows in the 50s, light wind. If there is going to be any weather event it will be well forecast. Specific location wind forecasts are hard as, as noted before, Sound is like a large lake so the channels and land features makes or blocks the wind. I discuss Puget Sound forecasts here - https://sv-swallow.com/2019/10/30/gone-cold-and-wind-forecasts/ (scroll to the later half of the post) I've cruised the entire event route in Sage 17s, M17s, Sage 15s, M15s and SageCats. The trick is being aware of wind v current, going with the current where it is strong. This will be covered in detail by the organizers. Based on what I read and saw of the 2019 event many folks overpacked and made their boats uncomfortably crowded. If there is no wind the greatest challenge is having enough fuel for the outboard. The organizers will cover this and provide info on where gas can be purchased - I don't recommend carrying enough to motor the entire route, just enough to go from refuel to refuel and top off as needed. Know your fuel use in 'x amount per hour' and find your running range (in hours not nautical miles). If more information is needed please let me know. :: Dave Scobie :: M6'8" #650 :: SV SWALLOW - sv-swallow.com :: former owner M17 #375 SWEET PEA - m17-375.com :: former owner M15 #288 SCRED - www.freewebs.com/m15-named-scred/ On Sat, Nov 9, 2019, 6:30 AM Peter Zimowsky via montgomery_boats < montgomery_boats@mailman.xmission.com> wrote:
