Going Viking in Poulsbo

Winter Rendezvous

Northwest boaters can get in touch with their inner Vikings at a new Winter Rendezvous hosted February 7-9 by hydroplane racing legend Chip Hanauer, aka The Boat Guy, and the good folks in Poulsbo WA.

Aimed at encouraging boaters to get out on the water year round, the Norsk-flavoured fun includes beer, wine, whiskey and smoked salmon tastings, brewery tours, a marine swap meet, a downtown poker run, live music, a gala dinner-dance and more. At $75, tickets cover all event admissions, swag and discount moorage at the Port of Poulsbo.
