Cruise-out to Sequoia YC Oct 31 – Nov 1, 2015
The SSS will have its season-ending Cruise-Out this year in the South Bay, hosted by our friends at the Sequoia Yacht Club, Redwood City. The Fleet will assemble somewhere a bit south of the Bay Bridge the morning of Saturday October 31, and make its way more-or-less in company to SYC. Members are urged to save their competitive spirit for the party to follow. Here is your chance to have friends and family join you on a sailing adventure.
Following the party, those with shallow draft may wish to visit the wreck of the USS Thompson, which was still sticking out of the water when I visited it about 8 years ago.
This post will be updated later in the season as more info is revealed… meantime, those with questions can post them on the Cruise-Out forum thread.
