The first-ever SALISH 100, June 22-28, 2019, was a small-boat cruise running the length of Puget Sound--100 nautical miles from Olympia to Port Townsend, Washington. It included more than 100 watercraft ranging from Stand-Up Paddleboards to kayaks, rowing boats to pocket-cruising sailboats, and about 15 larger support boats at various times, otherwise known as Motherships.
Organized by the Port Townsend Pocket Yachters group, the SALISH 100 was commercially sponsored by Duckworks Boat Builder's Supply of Port Townsend. Co-sponsors included the Northwest Maritime Center, the Puget Sound chapter of the Traditional Small Craft Association (TSCA), Kingston Mercantile & Marine, The Artful Sailor, Small Craft Advisor magazine, and the Gig Harbor Boat Shop.
Overnight stops along the route included Henderson Cove just east of Olympia WA, Penrose Point Marine State Park, Gig Harbor, Blake Island Marine State Park, the Port of Kingston, and Mats Mats Bay before the final destination of Port Townsend.
Boaters came in from all over North America to participate in the event, which promised to be the largest organized small-boat cruise in North America, if not the world.
