MOAC - Maine Outdoor Adventure Club

Saturday Sail
2024-07-20 14:30 - 20:30 (America/New_York)
Let’s meet in Falmouth and sail on Beyond II in Casco Bay. Bring a light rain jacket, a swim suit and towel, and healthy snacks and beverages to share. Closed toe shoes are safer on a boat and flip flops are a bad idea. If there’s wind, we’ll sail around, and if there isn’t any wind, we’ll drop a hook and find a beach. We’ll organize a carpool because Handyboat charges for parking. Please email me for more info. I can take 4 people.

MOAC Meeting: Sailing to Newfoundland and Labrador.
2026-08-05 18:30 - 20:30 | A2U2 Church, 524 Allen Avenue, Portland, 04101
Join us for a sail to Newfoundland and Labrador.
In 2019, 2022, and 2025 Jonathan Fulford sailed a BCC 28 sailboat from Maine to Newfoundland and northern Labrador. Forty people have joined him on some portion of these expeditions (up to five at a time onboard). These trips have been filled with icebergs, whales, arctic char, cod, lots of bears (both polar and black), fiords, remote fishing villages, and warm friendships.
The crews also witnessed the environmental and climatic changes affecting these subarctic and boreal lands and waters which directly impact the Gulf of Maine. They learned some of the region’s history of exploitation and ecological collapse, as well as seen the continued resilience of these communities and ecosystems.
