BOATS BY BANGOR FOR PEACE
Sat July 27, 9:30 am kayak start time, Hood Canal near Poulsbo
Around 9:30 am, kayaks enter Hood Canal south of Naval Base Kitsap-Bangor at King Spit. Sailboats will come from various locations
Join Ground Zero Center for Nonviolent Action, Veterans for Peace and others. A flotilla of peace boats, led by the historic peace boat The Golden Rule, will sail down the Hood Canal to Naval Base Kitsap-Bangor in a nonviolent demonstration against the threat posed by the continuing threat of use of nuclear weapons represented by the ballistic missile submarines (and the thermonuclear missiles they carry) based at Bangor.
Sailboats and kayaks will travel along the entire length of the waterfront of Naval Base Kitsap-Bangor, including the Delta Pier and the two Explosives Handling Wharves at Bangor where Trident submarines are maintained and nuclear warheads and Trident D-5 missiles are loaded upon submarines. Participants will not be risking arrest in Hood Canal.
