Olympia Yacht Club Sponsors Annual Marine Safety and Environmental Awareness Day

Current or potential boaters can learn about marine Safety and Environmental Awareness during the Olympia Yacht Club’s annual SEA Day Saturday, April 20.

The free event from 9 a.m. to noon at 201 Simmons Street includes freebees such as bilge pads and even fresh oysters on the half shelf, in addition to information about cruising and whale watching in Puget Sound and Canada.

Visitors also can learn how to dispose of hazardous waste, prevent black water discharge, or drop off expired flares. Vendors will display the latest safety gear and inspect, service or replace fire extinguishers. US Power Squadron volunteers can provide free safety inspections of boats.

A marine swap meet previously held in conjunction with SEA Day will now be held from 9 to noon on May 18 in the Olympia Yacht Club’s parking lot.
