Saturday afternoon approximately 2:00: This is when we typically make our run through the cut for the parade. Remember to have SPIRIT as we are being judged in the Spirit Class.
Saturday Afternoon, after the parade, lunch at the UW Husky Crew House: Following the parade and lap around 520 we arrive at the Conibear Shellhouse, home of the University of Washington Rowing Crew. Make sure crews have put away the shells before we dock. Bring your own lunch to picnic on the crew house dock. Around 3:30 after the parade has ended, the green light will be turned on for boat traffic west thru the cut and we can return to Lake Union.
