For an interesting twist on celebrating on the longest day of the year, in Ohio the Alum Creek Sailing Association will actually be sailing at  night by getting together for a moonlight sail on the Sailstice.  They’ll be gathering on their ASCA docks located on Alum Creek Lake just North of Columbus.

Saturday, June 21^st,2008 on Alum Creek Lake sounds like a romantic, moonlit evening and another great way to celebrate sailing on the water.  A quick look at the club’s website shows an idyllic marina filled with all sorts of sailboats – just the way it should be.  We can imagine it a perfect time refreshments and a stroll on the docks. Afterwards they’ll be unfurling the sails for the night-time sail. ASCA suggests all members anchor in the cove to keep the fun going later into the night. The refreshments and dock walk will be served around 6:30 and the sail will begin with everyone at 9:30 pm. For directions visit http://alumcreeksailing.com/ACSAAbout.aspx.

The Alum Creek Sailing Associationin Ohio is a club of 130 members from sailing families, individual sailors, to sailing enthusiasts and people from all different ages and professions. The boats range form monohulls, to catamarans, to tri-hulls that reside in 135 slips for sailboats only.  Sounds like our kind of club and out kind of evening!
