This group is for gay and bi men in their 30s, 40s, and 50s who are interested in sailing and boating on the bay, and outdoor adventures in general. Weather permitting, we will likely meet about once or twice a month to go for a full day or half day sail.  Through this Meetup group, we hope to provide a venue where members can come together, learn a bit about sailing (or practice their existing skills), network, and simply have a great time out on the water. The Meetup organizers hold US Sailing …

Enjoy sailing expeditions and adventures on San Francisco Bay sailing a modern 46 foot Hunter sloop in some of the best, most diverse and occasionally challenging conditions in the world.  This is an opportunity to sail a 'big' boat out of Richmond, California with new and old friends, and with an experienced crew.  You can participate as much as you like in sailing the boat and manning the lines, or just take in the sights, sounds and action of being on the water.

Going out on the Bay in a comfortable safe boat: teaching a little sailing, talking a little history and really leaving the hardworld behind, if only for a short time. We can keep it casual or maybe do a Corinthian Yacht Club Friday Night "Beer Can" race- in Tiburon; a very low-key event, and I don't try to win, just stay with the tail of the fleet.. Barbecue on the club deck after.

Hi, First off, please note that sailing experience or obsession is required, to keep the group size manageable. I do make tons of exceptions, for various reasons (e.g. if you're Greek, Harvard-related, the funniest person in the world, the Dos Equis man, etc.) Thanks for the understanding; please do not harass me if I decline you. In general, if you're just looking for some fun outdoor event to meet people, other meetups might be a better fit. So: I own a 38-foot sailing catamaran, docked in Ala …

Harmonia is always on the look out for extraordinary places to practice yoga.

Writing offers a way for people to connect to deeper, wiser aspects of ourselves – a way for us to find out, as the poet Audre Lorde said, “what we didn’t know we knew.” Almost every writer has experienced mysterious moments when the words that flow from our pens, or from our fingers on a keyboard, seem as if they come from someplace else – a place beyond our small human selves. Sometimes, when we let it happen, it’s as if the words become a little boat, a raft on which we can sail in a larger s …
