Sure, they're trying to get you interested in sailing with them -- whether you're a salty dog or landlubber or somewhere in between. It's usually a no-pressure experience, because they also know most people just want to a free ride on a boat.

As these sailing events start happening, it's good to remember to wear clothes that can get wet. Keep in mind it will feel colder on the boat.

And if you are interested in taking lessons or becoming a member, both places offer discounts on days like these.
