Start Your Engines If you’re the kind of wannabe yachtsman who refers to the passenger side of your car as starboard, now’s your chance to fulfill all your seafaring dreams.

The event features special guest Deadliest Catch’s Russell Newberry. Admission is $12 for adults, free for youth 15 and younger.
