June 19 was Summer Sailstice, an annual international celebration of sailing and the summer solstice. At Modern Sailing, we celebrate sailing every day! On Saturday, June 19, every boat in the fleet was booked and we estimate that over a hundred members, students, and guests got out on the water.
With Summer Sailstice and the lifting of state COVID-19 restrictions, we also brought back our Après Sails social mixers. Expect to see an Après Sail in our outdoor canvas lounge every Saturday and Sunday 3:30 - 5:00 PM. We serve complimentary wine, beer, beverages, and snacks while you relax and enjoy swapping sailing stories with your friends at Modern Sailing.
Did you go sailing on Summer Sailstice? Members - hop on over to the Modern Sailing Crew List on Facebook, join the group if you haven't already, and be sure to share your photos with the MSC community. You may also email photos to office@modernsailing.com.
