Cruise Hosts Troy Kindred and Marie Browne invite you to join us for a cruise to a new QYC cruise destination! Kingston is a charming port with lots to do, and it is almost exactly the same distance as to Poulsbo - about 30 nautical miles from Tacoma. Register here, then call the Port of Kingston to reserve your slip. Tell them you are with QYC. They are holding slips for us until June 26, so be sure to call before then to be guaranteed a slip. 360-297-3545.
No boat? Come on up by car! It is about a one hour drive from the Southworth ferry. Maybe book a hotel room and make a weekend out of it?
Cruise agenda
Friday afternoon
-
Arrive and gather for drinks and hors d'oeuvres at the Gazebo on the dock.
-
No host dinner on the deck at the Kingston Ale House (steaks, seafood, burgers, beer)
Saturday morning
Saturday afternoon
-
Wander the town and check out the cute shops and places to eat.
-
Take a 30 minute cruise on the Washington State Ferries from Kingston to Edmonds! It really is a lot of fun when it’s a new boat and a new route (and you don’t have a plane to catch). Edmonds offers even more cute shops and places to eat.
-
Or just hang out on your boat and watch the ferries and boats and people come and go.
Saturday evening
-
Catch a free shuttle to The Point Casino for BBQ and live outdoor music by NextUp, an R&B and Classic Rock band. You’ll be back on your boat and asleep by 10:00. Unless you’re feeling lucky. No judgment if you stay and gamble your life savings away! (And if casinos are not your thing, maybe you'll find something else to check out.)
Sunday morning
-
Catch some music and stock up on farm fresh veggies at the Kingston Public Market which opens at 10:00 am.
-
Head for home or onward to your next port of call, another fun cruise with your QYC friends to remember when the rains set in again.
