About this event

The annual Matia Cleanup cruise is one of the first cruises of the year, and a super fun one! Join us for a short sail to Matia Island for a raft-up at the dock. Matia is an absolutely gorgeous little island.

In addition to the regular fun, this cruise includes a short day of light work cleaning up this State Marine Park after the winter storms. Under the supervision of Ranger Steve club members rake trails, mow grass and remove debris for a few hours followed by a potluck/social hour. This is one of our club's contributions to helping to maintain Washington State Marine Parks for the enjoyment of the boating community.

Contact the cruise host, Greg Hartgraves, and let him know your boat name, length and draft in order to reserve your space at the dock at Rolfe Cove.  Dock space limits the number of boats to 12.

Registration fills up quickly, but for most years some boats cancel. If/when we reach 12 boats, you can contact Greg to be put on the wait list. 

Other options are one of the two mooring buoy in Rolfe Cove, anchoring, or staying at Sucia and commuting. Priority is given to boat crews participating in the Saturday work party. Additional details to follow as the date gets closer and club members sign up for the cruise.
