***Sushi & Sake on a Sailing Ship***

Clipper Harbor (map)

Selected By: Sarah

Here is a fantastic ONE TIME ONLY opportunity , through Esperanza, to go sailing and enjoy some true California sun!!!

On Saturday, June 28th, the ship will set sail from Clipper Harbor in Sausalito, CA. The details are below. TRIP IS STILL OPEN, CALL [masked] TO INQUIRY HOW MANY SPOTS ARE LEFT:

The typical price per person is $50, but fellow Esperanza member, Captain Brad, is offering attendees a reduced price of only $40 per person for a day trip on his boat, Lucrezia. There is space for a total of 18 reservations only.

Its important to note that:

* Going out into the North part of the bay is waaarrrm. Bring your swimsuit and try out the rope swing! You won't regret it!

* Bring some sake and sushi to share as there is a full kitchen on the boat at your disposal.

* Its an all day extravaganza. Attendees will meet at Clipper Harbor at 10:30am to return by 6:30pm.

Those wishing to attend need to either visit here to access paypal: http://www.captainbra...

Or send a check to reserve your spot to:
Brad Alvis
14 Skylark Dr. 206
Larkspur, CA 94903

Also, you MUST RSVP on the MeetUp site as well so I can help with this process. You can also feel free to email me with any and all questions.

It is imperative that you reserve your spot with payment so that, in case you aren't sure you want to attend, the slot is open for someone else that does. These trips sell out fast, so reserve your spot today!! (You may also reserve a spot for one additional guest.)

******************************

HOW TO HAVE THE MOST FUN ON YOUR TRIP:

1. Please wear shoes with light colored souls only. (gum, white, light grey etc.- Dark colors mark the boat).
2. Bring sunscreen, camera, sunglasses, hats, and Music CDs or iPods.
3. Dress in layers, preparing for fairly cool moments, and rather warm times as well.
4. Pack items in nylon bags, do not bring paper bags of things, as they rip and spill.
5. You may bring alcohol, but drink responsibly. Please no drugs. Cigars etc on aft deck.
6. Please No Pets ;(
7. For maximum enjoyment, limit alcohol the previous evening, and get plenty of sleep.
8. Limit caffeine on the morning of sailing, (caffeine slightly increases the risk of seasickness)
9. Have fun, wear a funny hat or something, create a theme for your group!
10. The water can be very warm (75°+) in the north bay and swimming is common - so plan accordingly.
11. If your event plans include anchoring for lunch or BBQ plan for an extra 1 to 2 hours for that.
12. Bring a special gift for the captain ;) - It's an ancient seafaring tradition that will bring good luck to the trip!

***************************************

So remember to bring:

1. Your camera.
2. Some sushi or sake to share.
3. Your swimsuit.
4. And your enthusiasm for a wonderful treat, a ride on Brad's lovely boat!

    Well, the sun never really broke through, 8 or 9 people never showed, some of us froze, one of us lost her lunch (and breakfast) the hard way, but it was one hell of a great day - hats off to Cap'n Brad and the gang who sake'd and wined and dined and waxed unphilosophically through a great day of sailing. -To those who didn't show, you missed an epic voyage.

    This is the best social meetup I've been to. There is nothing like sailing (and sushi) to get to know people! If you have a chance to do this again, DO IT!

    Overall a very good group and a very fun day with good food and drink. Weather was not good - cold and not able to swim but, of course, no reflection on the organizer! Had a motor problem on the way back which had a number of us worried and also delayed us getting back.
