Fleet Captain's Report

If you read The Bilge Pump, and I am sure you do, the date for the wine country tour is incorrect. The date is Saturday, February 27, and I hope you will join us.

Next up for cruising is a "land cruise" to the wineries of Woodinville. The date is Saturday, Feb. 27. We'll leave Queen City at 1 and return at around 6. Shuttle Express is going to do the driving for us in a LUXURY LIMO, so we can enjoy the wine tasting. We'll have some snacks and activities along the way. The cost will be about $45 per person OR LESS!, depending on how many sign up. If more sign up, the price goes down! Pre-paid reservations by February 19th are a MUST! Checks should be made out to me.

Woodinville is the center of more than 30 wineries, including Chateau St. Michelle, Columbia, Silver Lake, and dozens with such intriguing names as Red Sky, Edmonds, Dusted Valley and Woodhouse. We're arranging an itinerary that will introduce you to both major and boutique wineries that produce both reds and whites, including, Columbia Winery, the winner of the Halloween Wine Tasting for reds. If you have a favorite, let me know.

This is a wonderful way to introduce people to Queen City. There are long, take away fliers around the club --take one, invite a friend or two (especially a prospective member), and make your reservation. You won't want to miss this one!
