Upcoming Sails & Events

This will be a sail with Gaslight Charter and their beautiful 19th Century reproduction of a Bay sailing scow, leaving from Alameda. They provide lessons for you and your mentee. Big boat, so plenty of room for volunteers and students. They loved it last year...Instructions for location will be sent prior to the class.

We are ALWAYS done by 8 PM. If you cannot make it in, we have a Zoom conference space you can use to be telepresent.You must register in order to access the meeting via Zoom. A registration button is in the event details on the volunteer.bluewaterfoundation.org site when you are logged in. Use it to register. Registration will generate connection details which are good for subsequent meetings.

CPR/First Aid training required for certification. Free to BWF volunteers. PLEASE NOTE: This certification will be blended learning, meaning that the video and "lecture" portion will be done online at your own time and only the skills portion will be done in-person. Once six people sign up you will be sent a link from ARC American Red Cross (email may be addressed from Salesforce) Online portion must be complete before skills session.

The graduation sail with certificates handed out, pot luck, then the students showing their family what they have learned. A moving experience, probably two boats going out. Need to bring Aleta to Dock O.

Our first Student sail with the kids of Huckleberry Marin...may become regular class once we see how it goes.

A group from Marin City, Play Marin provides sports and other extracurricular activities to intentionally give kids of diverse ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds the opportunity to learn and grow together through play
with the goal of closing the activity gap in Marin City while promoting diversity and inclusion throughout Marin County,

This will be our first sail with a new partner, the Epilepsy Foundation of Northern California which works with children and adults suffering from that disease. Their services range from Oregon border to Fresno and their theme is making these kids as independent as possible. Sailing will be one more area in which they can shine. This first sail is with their staff. On August 5 we have a family sail day for them.

A full day of training and certification on Benjamin Walters, rain or shine. Bring your lunch, beverages will be on board, a day to learn without students and to move up the certification ladder quickly. Live overboard drill if enough of our volunteers need it. A fun day...
