Round Island Gunkhole Cruise
August 30 - September 1, 2025
It’s that time of year again! We’re excited to announce the annual Round Island Gunkhole Cruise, taking place from Saturday, August 30th through Monday, September 1st. This is one of our most beloved cruises, offering a perfect opportunity to reconnect with fellow PMYC members and share summer sailing stories.
Saturday, August 30th: Blakely Harbor 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.
Sunday, August 31st: Rich Passage to Manzanita Bay 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. The flood through Rich Passage is running all morning. Slack tide before ebb is 1:39 pm at the west end of Rich Passage. We’ll sail to Manzanita Bay for the evening, anchoring at the north end of the harbor to enjoy the beautiful sunsets over the Olympics.
Monday, September 1st: Manzanita Bay to Agate Pass. Monday morning is a time to relax and enjoy the upper ends of Manzanita Bay. The north end of Agate Pass is slack before ebb at 2 pm.
This year’s cruise captains are Keith and Luba Fetterman. If you have questions about the cruise, contact Keith by clicking here (login required.)

Fair winds and see you on the water!
