Bay Area sailors enjoyed Summer Sailstice on one of the finest sailing weekends of the year - with clear, warm, sunny skies, nice breezes and the long days of summer. Many joined the Summer Sailstice celebration at Treasure Island Sailing Center where junior racers, OCSC Summer Sailstice perpetual trophy competitors, yacht club cruisers and day sailors all congregated to celebrate sailing and hear the Cowbay Cruzboys' classic island tunes.
Clipper Cove made for an ideal host location with plenty of anchoring room for visiting curisers including cruise-ins from South Beach YC, Island YC, Encinal YC, Corinthian YC, and individuals as well. As the curisers headed in many Optis, Vanguard 15s and others were heading out to the race course for mostly unseasonably light but very pleasant sailing conditions.!
The Saturday afternoon Nav Rally and treasure hunt hosted by Club Nautique and Treasure Island Yacht Club were a big hit with pirates, kids and Bay cruising sailors. It was a spectacular weeken to be ont he water with Treasure Island Sailing Center doing a magnificent job of hosting sailing, music, food and fun!
