The Salish 100 is a week long cruise of about 100 miles from Tacoma to Pt Townsend. Although the initial version had onshore camping, the last version required onboard camping. Every time I go to the PNW, I come back with a vessel, so after the trip this year, I was better equipped to camp on board.

I submitted my application for 2022. After being reminded that the support vessels are emergency purposes, not towing in stragglers, I was accepted. I was one of about 10 purists relying on oars. There is a suitable outboard sitting in the garage, but the logistics of a motor mount on a pointy stern / finding space for gas and motor, the oars seem to be a simple solution.
