June is the end of the whale watching season in Port Gardner Bay and the sailing route will take in the most likely places to encounter any migrating Gray Whales. Small Craft Advisory or adverse conditions may cancel the sail event, at the skipper’s discretion. Please bring non-marking sole shoes, your personal floatation device (PFD) if you have one, and appropriate outerwear based on the days weather forecast. Be prepared for both cool temps, wind and rain, and, moderately warm weather. April, May and June are transition months and it is possible we could have highly variable weather conditions during the sail. You may bring any food that is “day sail boating compatible” (does not require heating, will not make a mess on deck) if you wish.

  • Heavy-duty gloves (preferably leather) for line handling (fingertips cut off is OK).
  • Warm clothing head to foot (Note: The ambient temperature on the water is usually lower than on land).
  • Foul-weather gear
  • Sunglasses
  • Sunscreen
  • Knife on lanyard
  • Whistle on a lanyard
  • Food and drink
  • Headlamp or flashlight
