Sailing Adventure aboard the cutter Cetacea on Sunday, July 27!

The cutter Cetacea (Latin, marine mammal-dolphins/whales), a beautiful, strong, and well-appointed 42' blue-water sailboat with extensive operational and safety systems, invites a few crew aboard with a highly experienced skipper and platonic-only water sports enthusiast and science/technology entrepreneur. My sailing friend, Tetiana, will join us, too.

Strong preference for adventurous crew, as can be seen in the various NBS photo albums of crew on more than 150 no-cost personal sailing adventures the past 10 years. This sail is for women that prefer to sail with other women; sorry guys but there is a big demand for female-only sailing that isn't being met! Sailing experience isn't necessary, but enthusiasm for a fun, safe and exhilarating daysail, is!

The weather predictions this far out on are for cloudy/sunny at 65-70F, fog at the Gate, and moderate 15-20kt winds, so we'll sail to the Gate, around Alcatraz and Treasure Island, to the Port of Oakland and down the Alameda Estuary, and then back to the marina. We'll lunch underway with a 20 minute cleanup upon return.

The waitlist is open until I identify the crew by Wednesday night, July 23. I'll send an agenda with food, drink, clothing, meeting location, marina parking and more to the crew Friday, July 25. We'll enjoy a mix of friends, former crew and newbie crew!

Please be sure to respond asap to my email to your meetup registered email address or you'll be cast adrift in the "Not Going" landlubber zone of washed-up sailing regrets, har har :-)
