It's easy to make sailing friends here!  We were the original sailing Meetup group in the Bay Area, and are the largest.  We try to offer inexpensive sailing opportunities for everyone.   Many of our events are free. You don't have to know how to sail to be part of the group.  People with boats usually always welcome guests aboard to help pull ropes and turn cranks and pass out beer.  That is called "crewing". The purpose of this meetup group is to promote and share the passions of sailing. Anyo …

Meetup with other fun and outgoing people interested in sailing (or cruising the bay on a comfortable sailboat) for some super fun, unique, social activity - no sailing experience is necessary. Each Meetup will include: sailing, motor cruising, and a potluck meal. From time to time let's enjoy a stop over on land mid-day at either: d/t Sausalito, Sam's in Tiburon, Angle Island for picnic & croquet, McCovey Cove in SF for Giant's baseball games, anchor at some awesome secret beaches to relax in w …

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.

We are a group dedicated to getting on the water and enjoy the breezes of the San Francisco Bay. Our 30' sloop "Addiction" is very safe and very fun! Our goal is to show you the basics of sailing, meet new folks and discover the beauty of bay cruising.

Welcome to the East Bay Travel Club! Come out to meet people who like to travel the world, find out about their past experiences and advice on future adventures. Who knows but you might find travel companions and have great fun? My best memories of travel were me and my brother in the back seat of my family's car taking road trips from Illinois to Florida, California/East Coast, or exploring ports on dad's boat along the Illinois river, Michigan City sand dunes, Grand Haven, Michigan artist co …

Harmonia is always on the look out for extraordinary places to practice yoga. When I saw the Luxury 90 ft yacht called The Empress I thought what a blissful space to offer Yoga & meditative community practice. To be surrounded by the beautiful views, peaceful sounds, and gorgeous water, who would pass this up? Gerry generously opened up his yacht to me and gave the community a chance to experience what it's like to own your own private luxury yacht! Now you have the chance to experience the divi …

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 large …

I started this meetup group to give myself and others in chronic pain a safe and supportive place to share anything related to living life with chronic pain (i.e., issues, conflicts, hopes, successes, modalities, resources, etc.). Chronic puts the sufferer and their loved ones in such a difficult position, and feeling isolated only worsens the the struggle. Personally, I believe it would be comforting to meet others in the same boat and to share information that could help one another. Plea …
