Schooner Zodiac featured on magazine cover

<< Back to archives | Thursday, March 3, 2011

The 160 foot long schooner Zodiac has moved to Fairhaven on a permanent year round basis. Fairhaven stands to benefit hugely from this move with more visitors coming here to enjoy all the outdoor recreation we have to offer. 

And so we are planning a celebration.  The stern - the back end - of the Zodiac shows the city she calls home. On Saturday, April 16, that name will change to Bellingham - from Seattle. Shortly after noon, we will have a dedication ceremony, complete with speeches and live music, to unveil the new name on the stern of the Zodiac. From 9 am to 4 pm, we will have a fun day of boating activities at the Bellingham Cruise Terminal in Fairhaven. We invite everyone. We will have full information right here on Fairhaven.com under the events tab. 

The event is being hosted by the Port of Bellingham and the prime sponsor making this all possible is Whidbey Island Bank, with the Fairhaven Branch manager Dave Hannah as the lead organizer of this event.  Plan to attend. 

And pick up a copy of Adventures NW magazine, which is published right here in Fairhaven by Paul Haskins and Alaine Borgias. The new issue sports a Zodiac cover (shown here) and a story about sailing aboard the schooner. The spring issue has just been distributed to display racks all over Whatcom County, nearby counties, and and the entire region. Be sure to pick it up, as it has some great articles and photos of outdoor fun near Fairhaven and in other parts of the Pacific Northwest.
