Weekend Activities

There’s no better way to celebrate Earth Day than to go sailing!

Friday is the internationally recognized day to celebrate Mother Earth. The irony is that while most of the Earth Day celebrations this weekend will be held on dry land, 70% of the planet is covered in wet stuff. Naturally, it makes sense to us that folks take to the water to commemorate the day — if you do, make a little extra effort to fish out at least one piece of floating trash while you’re out there. 

Saturday is a busy day with three different boaters swap meets: Stockton Sailing Club, Martinez Marina, and Sausalito West Marine. All three start at 8 a.m., but the one in Sausalito is being held in conjunction with Marinship Day, which runs till 3 p.m. The event will feature food, music and a prize raffle to benefit the Spaulding Wooden Boat Center.

Grab some great BBQ and enter a raffle for fabulous prizes at Marinship Day, Saturday at the Sausalito West Marine.

Sunday, of course, is Easter, so stock up your boat with chocolate bunnies and head over to Angel Island for a ‘Spring Sphere’ hunt, or just get out of the slip for the day.
