Bay Area Skills of the Ancient Mariner
An
Excursion in Tomales Bay
For thousands of years humans have learned by the feel of the briny wind and water on their face , the bristly texture of rope smoothly running through hands, the smell of the forest wet and moist after the first rains, and by stories spoken of the land where they live.
We educate ourselves in the time-honored classroom of the woods and the bay with intensive wilderness awareness skills and practical maritime skills. Participants work as a team to make decisions, complete group projects and overcome obstacles.
Join us as we explore the coves and islands in Tomales Bay. We will sail, learn knots, fish and catch crabs for dinner, go elk tracking, learn to identify wild edible and medicinal plants. We will make bolas, atlatl, traps and snares, and start the fires the old way, by rubbing sticks together in our hands. Enjoying stories and songs around the fire.
