 Please join us on Monday, October 21 at 6PM to discuss the great book "The Hard Way Around: The Passages of Joshua Slocum."
This book takes you to the amazing real life of Joshua Slocum. Turns out sailing alone around the world was just about the least amazing thing about him - sort of an anti-climax. Joshua was more like a real-life Forrest Gump of the late 1800s. He was right next to or part of virtually anything newsworthy - worldwide - during that time. You really gotta read this book and join us on October 21.  Feed your inner Viking at PAYC on May 17th at 6PM. We've pulled out all the stops to make this a memorable evening. Chef Sage at New Day Eatery is making sockeye salmon roasted in a dill-mustard sauce, roast pork loin with honey poached cranberries and apples, Scandinavian style veggies, and fresh baked focaccia bread! You can wash all this great food down with locally brewed mead brought in for the occasion - and best of all you can drink your mead horn flagons available for purchase at the bar. Here's the details:
