The Totem Yacht Club’s annual Penrose Point State Park anchor-out event is a wonderful South Sound tradition that brings members together for a relaxing weekend in one of the area’s most beautiful natural settings! This popular cruise takes boaters to the scenic waters of Mayo Cove and Carr Inlet, where Penrose Point State Park offers excellent moorage facilities and stunning forested surroundings.

Penrose Point is a richly forested 237-acre marine park with nearly two miles of pristine Puget Sound shoreline, making it an ideal destination for an anchor-out gathering. Members can enjoy the park’s moorage buoys or anchor in the protected waters of the cove, creating a peaceful floating community for the weekend. The park’s natural beauty, with its towering Douglas fir and Western red cedar trees, provides a spectacular backdrop for the club’s festivities.

Beyond the enjoyment of being on the water, Penrose Point offers plenty of opportunities for shoreside exploration. Members can dinghy to shore to enjoy the park’s trails, picnic areas, and beautiful beaches, or simply relax on their boats and enjoy the camaraderie of fellow club members. This anchor-out event perfectly captures the essence of Pacific Northwest cruising—combining the joy of boating with the beauty of nature and the warmth of yacht club friendship in a truly memorable weekend getaway!
