About this event
Just a few more days until Mukilteo Yacht Club’s 22ndAnnual Opening Day of Boating. We would like to encourage everyone to decorate your boat to the theme: “Beach Party” Remember to dress to the theme too. If you could let us know in advance if you plan to go out on parade, it would be helpful for our planning.
