  • Dinner at Tacoma Yacht Club (TYC) and Yellowstone Theme Dance at the club 🎶
Saturday
  • Breakfast: at the club, on your boat, in the town!
  • Morning: Want to help decorate the PYC parade boat?  Tour Tacoma?  Relax?
  • Afternoon: 'THE TOKEN PARADE' at 1:30pm. This is a pretty crazy tradition.  We will have a team of 5 club members who will be dressed up to parade around the Tacoma Yacht Club facility, then go inside and compete in a Jeopardy style trivia contest to win judges points that add to our overall weekend competition among the many Yacht Club contestants.  Not in that 5?  No worries as we need a HUGE fan club to get them ready, cheer them on, then we also go inside to watch the trivia contest and cheer crazy loud for our PYC contingent.  Come cheer on the PYC contingent in a crazy walking (not boat) parade up around the Yacht Club

Moorage

 The basin crew will be ready to welcome visiting boaters beginning at noon on Thursday, April 13th.  If you are coming by boat, TYC will find moorage for you; however, they cannot always guarantee power, and the use of diesel generators is not permitted if they pose a carbon monoxide health risk to others.  Also, we cannot guarantee that you will have pet friendly access to shore so bringing pets to Daffodil is
discouraged. If you do bring pets, please be responsible in handling and cleanup. Please keep pets on a leash at all times.
