On Thursday July 28th, our New York City members ferried over to Liberty Landing Marina to set sail on the Hudson River for the second installment of The Society Sailing Academy!
A little rain and mist and the threat of potential thunderstorms could not deter our members from hopping onboard the Offshore Sailing School sailboats for an evening cruise.
Members, dressed for the occasion in a variety of appropriate boating wear and learned to rig, jib, tack and more under the tutelage of expert instructors.
The Financial District provided a picturesque backdrop for the Hudson tour. Apres sail, members descended upon Maritime Parc for a picnic of BBQ sliders and summer salads. Our Zacapa Dark & Stormy cocktails could not have been more perfectly fitting for the occasion!
Post event, members were transported back to Manhattan via SUV’s, as darkness and clouds remained above the city skyline.
"The Society Sailing Academy is one of my favorite events of the year.... nothing better than being out on the water and feeling miles away from the hustle & bustle!" – Annie Evans
"Our members have repeatedly commented on how much they enjoyed our first installment of The Sailing Academy last summer so it was wonderful to see both new faces and some repeat members back on the water this year!" – Katie Shipp
