Welcome to the Northwest Women in Boating Blog. We’ve created it as a forum for this great group of women to be able to share with each other. There are things that occur in all of our lives as women and as women who love boats and boating that could benefit other women. Those of you who’ve been able to attend our meetings and those who haven’t been able to but follow our emails, you’re an amazing group. Let’s get to know each other even better online in this forum.
We will continue to send out the email notices about our third Monday meetings and we will post them here, as well. We’ll also be posting other notices we have or which are sent our way from you.
We hope you will send for posting:
- The address of your blog so others can enjoy (see blog list below)
- Events of interest to the group
- News of interest about yourself or other women boaters
- Ideas to help make us better boaters or boat owners
- Humor we would enjoy
- Tales from your life as a boater that would help us learn and maybe even laugh (you know the “she thinks that’s bad, she should hear my story” type laughter
We may ask for your responses to certain questions at times and post your answers
We also hope that you will subscribe to this blog (on the right) enabling the posts to show up for you as an email. Let’s get to know each other even better through sharing online.
We are looking forward to future meetings and hope to meet even more of you. We’ve been heartened that so many of you have shared our group with women you’ve met through your boating activities. Let’s continue to get the word out. Please, if you would, share this blog with other women boaters you know who aren’t a part of our group.

Hello. As I get the courage to discuss it, I’m writing a bit about my experiences at blog http://sailpinga.wordpress.com/. Bought a boat in 2007, as “an older woman” going into early retirement, and decided to learn all about it, from scratch.
Do you have contact/membership info any where? I don’t see it. Thanks much.

Deborah,
Thank you so much for sharing your blog and for your interest in Northwest Women in Boating. You are now on our membership list. We are a non-dues, no Robert’s Rules, education, networking and having fun organization. Vivian Strolis and I organize the meetings. The NMTA lets us use their conference room (See Meetings tab) Our gals do a fabulous volunteer effort every year at the Seattle Boat Show helping the NMTA with concierge and the Information Booth. If we’ve met I apologize for not remembering. There are gals on our list from your area, Oregon, Eastern Washington and it’s growing. I’ve been trying to arrange for Jennifer Hahn from Bellingham to go a program for us. We look forward to hearing more from you and, again, you blog is going to be just a nice addition to the growing number of blogs from our members.

Thanks, I just wanted to point out that in the link, there’s a misspelling… I’m O’Connor with an “o” please.
