Day in and day out, Puget Sound Pilots board ships in the Strait of Juan de Fuca off of port Angeles to guide the ship’s crew in safely navigating  the waters of Puget Sound.

At times the waters are calm and climbing the ladder dangling from the ship is relatively easy. At other times, the swells are large, the wind is howling, snow is falling, and it is in the dark of night.

Join us for a presentation by a Captain Trevor Bozina to learn about his journey to become a Puget Sound Pilot, his responsibilities, stories of near misses with sailboats and other watercraft, and tips for avoiding being left in his wake.

Captain Bozina is entering his 2nd year as a Puget Sound Pilot. Prior to joining PSP he graduated from the California Maritime Academy and was a tugboat captain in San Francisco Bay. He grew up in San Francisco sailing with his parents, and through youth sailing programs at various yacht clubs racing and coaching. Sailing has been a very big part of his life, as it sparked his interest in a maritime career and he met his wife when they were both junior sailors.
 
The Zoom Doors will open at 6:50 pm and the meeting will begin at 7:00 pm on March 9. At the meeting we also will discuss upcoming races, cruises and seminars.  There will also be time to interact with other sailors in the club.

The link to register for the meeting will be emailed to SSSS members in late-February.

We hope you will join us.
