We’re excited to announce the annual Round Island Gunkhole Cruise, taking place from Saturday, September 5 through Monday, September 7, 2026 (Labor Day Weekend). This is one of our most beloved cruises, offering a perfect opportunity to reconnect with fellow PMYC members and share summer sailing stories.</font></p> <p><font face="Helvetica"><strong>Saturday, September 5th - Blakely Harbor</strong><br> We’ll gather in Blakely Harbor on Saturday evening. Our largest boats will anchor in a prime spot with a stunning view of the Seattle skyline at night. The rest of us will filter in during the afternoon, either rafting up or anchoring out. It’s a great chance to relax, share food, drinks, and laughter.</font></p> <p><font face="Helvetica"><strong>Sunday, September 6th -&nbsp;Rich Passage to Manzanita Bay</strong><br> <img src="https://portmadisonyc.org/resources/Pictures/Cruising/PMYC-Round-The-Island-Gunkhole-2.jpg" alt="" title="" border="0" width="283.5" height="213" style="font-family: Helvetica; margin: 8px;" align="right"> On Sunday morning, there’s an opportunity to go ashore and hike to Fort Ward or explore the inner lagoon. We’ll depart Blakely Harbor mid- to late morning. We’ll sail through Rich Passage and continue on to Manzanita Bay for the evening, anchoring at the north end of the harbor to enjoy the be</font><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">autiful sunsets over the Olympic Mountains. With the tides, we will need to be thru the passage by 3:40 PM.</span></p> <p><font face="Helvetica"><strong>Monday, September 1st -&nbsp;Manzanita Bay to Agate Pass</strong><br> Monday morning is a time to relax and enjoy the upper reaches of Manzanita Bay before making our way toward Agate Pass and the trip home. If you need to leave early, the Agate Pass current turns to flood at 8:05 AM and turns to ebb at 3:35 PM.</font></p> <p><font face="Helvetica"><img src="https://portmadisonyc.org/resources/Pictures/Cruising/PMYC-Round-The-Island-Gunkhole-3.jpg" alt="" title="" border="0" width="283.5" height="213" align="right" style="margin: 8px;">This year’s cruise captain is Jim Llewellyn.
