   One thing I've got to say about Fidalgo Yacht Club: We're always trying out new products in order to make our extended cruises easier, safer, and more fun (i.e., less problems).  
   Here's a small array of products we tried this past cruising season in the Pacific Northwest, and we recommend them to you. If you try them, let us know what you think. We'd love to hear from you.

Fidalgo Yacht Club, Anacortes, Washington. Gateway to the San Juan Islands. What we eat on long cruises.
When embarking on a long cruise, there will be days when there’s no choice but to make a long passage. After all, for these types of trips, when the going gets good, the good get going. But at the end of one of these passages, after the boat’s secured, and everyone is tired and probably famished, what’s for dinner (or lunch)?  
We asked five admirals how they prepare for these times. Here’s what we learned:

Every boat owner has a mental list of things he or she just can’t live without while on a cruise. Some things are personal and provide comfort. For others, they focus on things that keep them safe and mobile.
We asked six boaters and their spouses what five things they just cannot live without. Some things will surprise you, while other things will have you nodding in agreement. Have a read:

  If you’re alive and well, you have a pretty good grasp of how to stay healthy. But maintaining your health on an extended cruise of several weeks or more, requires some extra consideration.  The members of Fidalgo Yacht Club routinely leave port around May and head north to British Columbia and SE Alaska, not to return until July or August.  There’s a lot they’ve learned about staying healthy on a boat in these remote locations and for weeks or months on end.

    About Us

    Fidalgo Yacht Club is best known as a cruising club, whose members share a passion for boats, the Pacific Northwest inland waterways, and a sense of comradery.  Safe boat handling is a priority.  Summer will find us on the water from Anacortes to SE Alaska.  Wintertime we gather together in our clubhouse to gather knowledge from dinner speakers and educational “bar chats”.   We cruise and learn together and welcome new members whether a seasoned mariner or first-time boater.

    A quarter of our membership has made the trek from Anacortes to SE Alaska, often multiple times. Half of us have cruised north of Cape Caution, and almost all of us have cruised the Broughtons. All these cruises were either solo or in small groups.
