But many of them are loaded with activities that Bare difficult or far-reaching; require travel to another country; or take time, training and huge funds. But what if a bucket list experience were available right here in the Northwest? Something that comes along only, well, once in a lifetime? If that sounds interesting, here’s a suggestion: You could enjoy an afternoon cruise on an extravagant luxury yacht, eating a catered dinner and drinking private label wine. And you won’t even have to leave Seattle! Just donate $300 per guest to the Swedish Club, and spend the afternoon and early evening on Saturday, Sept. 21, luxuriating on former Honorary Swedish Consul Lars Jonsson’s new yacht, the M/V Golden Eagle II, before it leaves for the Mediterranean. You’ll sail around Lake Washington, wave at the Gates’s mansion, go under the bridges and return to port. This 110-foot Queen Ship is undergoing a first-class refurbishment, and this trip will be one of the first it makes with all its new trimmings. Lars has donated this experience exclusively to the Swedish Club and our friends. Don’t be left out! Call the Club at 206-283-1090 to get on board.
