Summer Sailstice

Hosted by John Boyd

The ECSA invites all sailors in the Space Coast area to join us at Grills Riverside for the annual Summer SAILstice. This event is designed to help sailors the world over join in celebration of sailing, during the northern hemisphere’s longest daylight of the year – The Summer Solstice. 

Come any time after noon on Saturday, June 22, which is the weekend nearest the solstice (June 21). We will have the Blessing of the Fleet at 2:30 p.m., with dinner any time after 4 p.m. Grills will have tables under a tent set aside for us on the south side of the restaurant. For those staying overnight, Grills serves breakfast starting at 7 a.m.; the group will gather at 8:30 a.m. 

At the Summer Sailstice event, we celebrate the best of sailing with our members, and we strive to introduce the benefits of ECSA to new and potential members.  So everyone is encouraged to invite new folks, whether they are beginners or 'old salts'.
