Red Wine & Rubber Boots

Black ties and rubber boots are strictly optional at tomorrow’s Tall Ship Education Academy’s annual benefit reception. The fundraiser will be hosted aboard the historic ferry boat Eureka, docked at Hyde Street Pier, from 6-9 p.m. Nibble on hors d’oeuvres, sip some wine and open up the wallet for the silent auction, featuring such unique ‘items’ as a kayaking lessons, yoga classes and a fire boat ride courtesy of SFFD. Tickets are $45 in advance, $55 at the door. Students under 21 get in for $15. For more info, go to www.tallshipacademy.org or call (415) 405-3703.

UPDATE: Due to an electrical fire in the transformer that services Hyde Street Pier, the event has been moved to the San Francisco National Maritime Historic Park’s Visitors Center in the Argonaut Hotel building at the corner of Jefferson and Hyde Streets (across the street from Hyde Street Pier). Call for directions.
