Earth Day is an annual event celebrated around the world on April 22 to demonstrate support for environmental protection. Look for signs of humanity and the natural world intersecting on the San Francisco Bay.

Schooner Freda B is a sea kind 80' gaff rigged coastal schooner, making her one of the San Francisco Bay's most comfortable and traditional vessels to sail. Experience the romance of yesteryear with a local, licensed Captain and Professional Crew.
