Sip 'n' Sail: Wine, sunset, sailing—who said you aren't romantic? Take it up a notch with the Monterey Bay Aquarium's Sunset Sail and wine evening on the bay. Enjoy local Monterey wines as you drift across the bay on a 65-foot sailboat, watching the sun sink into the sea. Jacques Cousteau for a Day: Why do some sea otters sleep with their paws locked, creating a sea otter raft? Learn the answer and discover plenty more on the Monterey Bay Aquarium's entertaining and information-filled Day Sail Adventure on Monterey Bay. This special tour takes you beyond the aquarium, out into the natural habitat of abundant sea creatures (whales, dolphins, sea otters!). Two experienced naturalists lead the three-hour exploration on a 65-foot sailboat that caps off at just 24 people. Get your hands sea-salt wet gathering plankton and touching sea stars, observe ocean-bottom life, and ask all the questions you can imagine. The Day Sail Adventure makes thinking outside the Aquarium fun…and you a sea-scholar! (But hurry, this sailing adventure ends September 28.)
