South Bay Opening Day

If you sail out of South Bay, be sure to get your boat all gussied up for Saturday’s South Bay Opening Day. This is the 71st anniversary of the event, which features:

• Friday Evening – Buffet Dinner – Coyote Point YC
• Saturday – Breakfast, Lunch, Boat Parade & Exhibits  – Sequoia YC
• Saturday Evening – Cocktails & Dinner – Peninsula YC
• Sunday Morning – Ginn Fizz Brunch – South Bay YC

The highlight of any opening day, of course, is the boat parade and blessing of the fleet, and this year’s ‘Legends of the Bay’ themed parade — starting at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday — can be viewed form the observation deck of the Port of Redwood City. The Hawaiian Chieftain and Lady Washtington will also be open for walk-on tours.

For more info or to register your boat for the parade, go to www.southbayopeningday.org or call the Sequoia YC at (650) 361-9472.
