Call of the Sea’s Tall Ships Festival Is On Again
Looking for something nautical to do next weekend? Head to Sausalito for a great family day with Call of the Sea. The organization’s annual Tall Ships Festival is an opportunity to get “up close and personal” with the Bay Area’s newest brigantine, the Matthew Turner.
The festival is open to the public, and will feature tours aboard the 132-ft Matthew Turner and the 82-ft schooner Seaward. At 3:00 p.m. Matthew Turner will depart for a three-hour sail — tickets are available online or at the event.
Other activities include static displays, knot-tying for kids, and music by Sausalito’s bluegrass and country music band the Waterfront Pickers, and the Marin Young Pirates Chorus.
Of course, there will also be food and drinks available, including Davey Jones’s famous paella.
Call of the Sea’s Tall Ships Festival is a a fundraiser for scholarships that provide life-changing on-the-water experiences to underserved youth. Join the fun and support a good cause.
