Two-day Coastal Voyage to Drakes BayDuring this two-day, one-night adventure, you'll work with your team to learn how to sail a traditional ship (Seaward, a beautiful 82' classic schooner) and take her on a voyage beyond the Golden Gate up to Drake's Bay. This is a rich, experiential learning opportunity for any San Francisco Bay sailor and a unique way to gain an appreciation of what Coast Passagemaking is like. Your sailing skills will grow, your confidence will build, and your teamwork and leadership abilities will flourish. For a whole weekend, you'll be dependent on weather, wind and tide instead of social pressures and electronic entertainment. Monday will be a little different the following week!
You'll depart from OCSC at 9 am on Saturday morning and then sail out to the Farallones before turning towards Drake's Bay. You'll anchor in the Bay for sunset sea stories (true or not) and a hearty meal together. Retreat to your private bunk under a full moon and doze peacefully amongst your fellow crewmates.
Sunday morning dawns and a continental breakfast is ready for you - -gather your head because this morning you're in charge of navigating (with instruction and oversight!) back through the Golden Gate. You'll return to OCSC in the evening.
Participants: 15 students, four seaward crew. Each bunk has light and privacy curtain. Two heads, one with shower.
Cost: $495 Regular/ $371.25 OCSC member. All your meals included.
