tuning. Carter will talk about

evaluation and tuning the rig

Following our program

ting the most out of our
sails, whether for racing or
cruising, and the trade-offs
inherent in different rigs
and sail-handling choices.

improve safety and perfor-
mance at sea or around the

Discover
the mystery
of Sailors’
Grave
SEASIDE — The Cove in
Seaside is a popular local
surfing paradise and a habitat
for a wide variety of precious
marine life. And its most pop-
ular and mysterious landmark
is the Sailors’ Grave.
There are many stories
speculating on those for
whom Sailors’ Grave is a
final resting place. Robin and
Bill Montero will share their
research and discovery of the
grave’s possible residents in
their presentation “Known
Only To God: The Mystery
of Sailors’ Grave” at the next
History & Hops discussion
6 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 22, at
Seaside Brewing Co. (861
Broadway St.).
When the Monteros
purchased their home across
the street from Sailors’ Grave,
they became interested in
knowing more about the
landmark. As they joined
their neighbors in caring for
the site, they researched its
history, which culminated in
the City of Seaside erecting a
historical marker based on the
information they discovered.
History & Hops is a series
of local history discussions
hosted by the Seaside Muse-
um & Historical Society the
last Thursday of each month,
September through May.
