Regional Sailors:
I have secured and paid for MORNING RAIN participate in Seattle's own boating ritual at the log boom. Since 1920, this maritime tradition spurs skippers and crew to ready their vessels, inspires UW rowers to power Olympic dreams, and creates a spectacle for families like ours.
Late Log Boom registrations are still being accepted today till...??
