Hoist the Sails for Alamitos Bay! | June 12–14 

All hands on deck! The weekend of June 12 through 14, South Shore Yacht Club is charting a course for the ever-charming Alamitos Bay.

We’ve made a tactical change in our voyage plans—swapping weekends with Oceanside—to avoid a flotilla traffic jam with another yacht club who is also headed that way on that same weekend. To ensure smooth docking we have made this decision . Oceanside will happen the weekend in November that we were going to Alamitos Bay.

Join us as we drop anchor in one of the finest harbors this side of the seven seas (and possibly all of California). With protective offshore breakwaters and a naturally beautiful bay, it’s the perfect port for a weekend of camaraderie, cruising, and loads of fun.

 Friday Night: Potluck at Navy Yacht Club
Our first port of call: the Navy Yacht Club, where we’ll gather for a potluck feast overlooking the bay.

• Happy Hour: 4–5 PM (a fine time to hydrate like a seasoned sailor )
• 
  
• Dinner: 5–8 PM

Bring a dish fit for a hungry crew of 8–10—be it a hearty main, a tempting appetizer, or a dessert that could make a pirate weep. After the feast, linger awhile! Enjoy the company, the bar, and perhaps a second (or third) helping of something sweet. No judgment on this vessel.

 Saturday Adventures: Choose Your Course
Morning options include:

• A leisurely cruise through the picturesque canals of Naples (think Venice, but with better weather), or
• Sailing the bay and letting the wind do the heavy lifting.

 Saturday Evening: Pier Pressure & Dinner
In the late afternoon, we’ll stroll along the iconic Seal Beach Pier—stretching an impressive 1,865 feet into the Pacific. That’s a lot of pier to practice your best “thoughtful gaze into the horizon.” From there, we’ll head ashore for dinner at a delightful local restaurant (details forthcoming—no need to fish for clues).

Sunday morning we'll head to a restaurant for a delicious brunch before heading home.
