About the event
Come down to Gazela to celebrate the life of Pete Bailey, a truly legendary and cherished figure of the PSPG. In honor of Pete, we'll be enjoying a Thanksgiving-themed potluck with a few dishes by ship-famous cook, Carl Frey. Some dishes will already be provided, but please bring something to contribute as well.
This will be a special celebration, including the lighting of some string lights up aloft, as well as hopefully setting off a blank from our cannon.
Bring your best Pete stories, and any mementos he left you in life. Most importantly, bring your appetite! In honor of Pete’s hard work, a special ceremony will be held at 2030 (8:30).
Please note: Gazela is now docked closer to Independence Blue Cross RiverRink, North of her prior location, just South of the Ben Franklin yacht. RSVP Form here
