" Great News!- We have added another schooner to our OktoberFest 2010 Brewery Cruise. The Zodiac has invited our good friend and fellow Windjammer Fleet Schooner, "Spike Africa" to join us on the island micro-brewery tour!

We will buddy-boat to our destinations and anchor up together in the various harbors and bays. Join us for this fantastic opportunity! (Only 10 spaces left for the 2010 cruise)!

Note: the on-board hosts for this trip are Kevin Pierce of Anacortes Brewery and Kelly Wiese of Pike Ales Brewing Co.

After our kick-off evening at Chuckanut Brewery & Kitchen, guests have the option of early boarding and an overnight on the ship at Fairhaven.
