Weekend Doin’s
There are all sorts of fun things to do around the Bay to take advantage of this weekend’s good weather. Typical summer winds mean sailing will be a hoot, but if you’re looking for something onshore, check out the following list of events.
- June 8, 9 a.m.-noon — World Oceans Day. Created at the 1992 Earth Summit to celebrate the stuff that makes up 70% of our planet, there are events planned all over the globe, including one in Oakland. "West Marine is partnering with Save the Bay for World Ocean’s Day at the MLK, Jr. Regional Shoreline in Oakland," says Margo Donohue. "There will be a Scavenger Hunt along the shoreline while volunteers from both Save the Bay and West Marine clean the waterways ,which are a part of the marshland at San Leandro Bay, with a barbecue to follow." www.savesfbay.org/westmarine
