Shoreline Lake Hosts Free Sails for Summer Sailstice
On Saturday, June 21, Shoreline Lake will offer free skippered sailboat rides from 10 a.m.–2 p.m. The day’s activities are in celebration of Summer Sailstice, the annual family-friendly, global celebration of summer and sailing. Here on the Bay, sailors, sailing clubs and organizations are signed up for the Sailstice celebrations and will bring more people into the world of wind-powered joy, tranquility and exhilaration.
Shoreline Lake is currently the only South Bay location taking part in the Sailstice. “Shoreline Lake has been a strong supporter of the Sailstice goals of introducing newcomers to, and dispelling common myths about, this fun and exciting Olympic sport,” the group’s press release says. “A public event hosted by the Boathouse, the sailboat rides are meant as an opportunity for ‘newbies’ to take part in the fun of getting out on the water, and show just how accessible sailing is for both adults and kids. Skippered by the Boathouse’s experienced sailing staff, rides will be 20 minutes each. Besides this taste of lake sailing, Shoreline Lake will also have its usual active sailing scene (classes, and more) going on at full blast, as well as other family-friendly activities taking place.”
