Will there be an Opening Day?
The statement from Seattle Yacht Club:
After much thought, The Seattle Yacht Club leadership and Opening Day Trio regret to inform you that the 2021 Opening Day festivities have all been cancelled due to the ongoing pandemic. The logistics of an event of this size under the expected restrictions is just not possible. The UW Rowing Regatta and Windermere Cup information will be forthcoming. To the greater Salish Sea boating community, UW Rowing and Windermere Cup fans, and all who look forward to the traditional Opening Day events - stay tuned as we are working on a contingency plan and will inform you all as soon as possible. Thank you for your support of Seattle Yacht Club’s Opening Day and we look forward to continuing the tradition as we have since 1920
Information about this event is currently (1/2021) not available.

This is the annual pre-event that takes place before the Mahogany & Merlot Boat Show the first weekend in October.
Participants usually arrive and stay at Campbell's resort Tuesday, and leave for the 55 mile boat ride up Lake Chelan Wednesday morning at 9 am sharp! (usually). There are good accommodations, restaurants and activities at Stehekin National Park. The group returns on Friday.
There is discussion about adding a day to the odyssey this year, with arrival on Monday.
