The Raft – SCBC Annual Herring Celebration

Presented by Sausalito Community Boating Center at Bay Model, Sausalito CA

Jan 26 2020
The Raft – SCBC Annual Herring Celebration

Celebrate Sausalito’s fishing/maritime history, and raise funds for SCBC!

7th Annual Sausalito Community Boating Center Herring Celebration

End of January is time to celebrate our local herring and support SCBC at Cass Gidley!

We will once again provide the opportunity to see a great film, enjoy tasty herring dishes from local chefs, and hear some lively sea shanty tunes from The Fishwives – all while supporting the development of the Sausalito Community Boating Center at Cass Gidley Marina.

This year the Matthew Turner brigantine will also be opening its hatches to our supporters in the waters in front of the Bay Model.

Supporters have a choice of two screenings for our feature film The Raft. In 1973, our own legend, Mary Gidley, was picked as the navigator on a raft that drifted across the Atlantic Ocean with no power and 11 people on board!

Post-film conversation with Mary Gidley and others.

This is a lively event on the Sausalito waterfront to celebrate the fishing and maritime history of Sausalito, to promote the SCBC agenda of environmental stewardship and education…and to raise funds for SCBC!

Ever wonder about all the ruckus on the water every January with seals barking and birds diving?  The herring fishery is the only commercial fishery inside the Golden Gate Bridge, and Richardson Bay is one of the last places that herring spawn in California.  Herring are critical to the ecology of Richardson Bay Sanctuary, and beyond, as an essential prey item for marine birds, whales, seals and larger fish such as salmon.

Come learn all about it, and truly ‘eat local’ by enjoying tasty dishes made with this shiny fish from right off our shore – served up by some of your favorite local chefs.
