It's the weekend of the longest day of the year, Let's Go SAILING.

Go to www.summersailstice.com for more information on what the Summer Sailstice weekend is all about.


As we count down to the Summer Sailstice, multiple events will be added to the Got Wind and Water site. Links to all those events will be found on this Main Page.

Click on the links at the bottom of each day to go to the individual boat event page to add yourself to the waiting list:

Thursday

THURSDAY?, Yeah, Thursday, I couldn't wait. biggrin

Kick off the Summer Sailstice weekend with Sunset Sail on Thursday.

Friday:

On Friday we will pre-position 'Anchor Boats' in the cove. This is the same cove we used for the Spring EquiSail event. The boats will be placed in the same location we used for the June 4th 'Boats and Beaches' Photo Shoot. They will act as anchors for the Got Wind and Water raft up on Saturday. Stay tuned, you'll have the opportunity to join a waiting list for the 'one-way' trip(s) getting those boats to the cove on Friday and the 'one-way' trip(s) as those boats return to their home port(s) on Saturday or Sunday.

Saturday:

See 2010 Summer Sailstice, San Francisco Festival. We'll work out how to get boats carrying Got Wind and Water members from all points of the San Francisco Bay Area to converge on Clipper Cove, anchor and raft up. Water Taxi service will be provided to get crew members ashore for the festival and other activities. One of these 'other' activities will be a combined event with Renegade Photo Shoot, organized by one of our members, Martha Blanchfield. We'll connect boats and photographers and models. While the details are being worked out, boat photo shoots, a beach landing and a beach photo shoot is in the works.
Private 'no fee' boats going to the cove on Saturday:

Sunday:

Assistant Organizers and Event Hosts are encouraged to post events on Got Wind and Water for Sunday. This might be a perfect day for a Sail to Angel Island and hike to the top. If you are an anchor boat for the raft and decide to spend Saturday night at clipper cove, your event might be the 'one-way' trip back to your home port.

    Oops! I sent out an email to all of you explaining why suddenly you can't access and make changes to your RSVP's -- I'll update the site mid day on Friday to try a work around. There will be sailing opportunities tomorrow. You'll be able to RSVP this afternoon/tonight to go sailing from the cove tomorrow.

    I've changed the date on this event, but don't worry, this is just the Main Event page - it spans the entire weekend! We'll have events on all three days, so if you have RSVP's yes here, we'll get you on a boat on the proper day. Thanks for your patience as we build this event.

    Carol asks: How will this work? The answer: ---> As the list of boats grows for each day, you'll add yourself to the waiting list of the boat whose 'sail plan' fits your plan. The event host will move you to the 'Yes' list as they build the crew. You'll get an email that confirm's your spot. We'll add boats to get everyone to the event. Delete

    To all: This is going to be huge. We will have to deal with mixing 'split fee' charter situations and 'no fee' private boat situations all in the same event. Our use of 'Donations to the Fund' through Amazon Payments has worked very well for the WNS events. I'd like to use this method to help defray or discount the charter fees that have to be split. Email me for more information. We can also start a discussion thread on this subject.

    To decide definitely, i'd need to know more details, e.g., what kind of boats will be going from OCSC, what time start and finish, etc. So my partner and I are still "maybe's".
