Help us Celebrate Summer Solstice 2017
Location: Middle of Kirkwood Lake
Time 8:30am - 9:30am
The June solstice marks the first day of the astronomical summer season in the Northern Hemisphere. The word solstice is from the Latin word “solstitium”, meaning “sun-stopping”, because the point at which the sun appears to rise and set stops and reverses direction after this day. On this day, the sun does not rise precisely in the east, but rises to the north of east and sets to the north of west allowing it to be in the sky for a longer period of time. In the Southern Hemisphere, the June solstice is known as the shortest day of the year. It is when the sun has reached its furthest point from the equator and marks the first day of winter.
This years Summer Solstice is officially at 06:07am June 21EST however as most people have better things to at that time of the morning we are celebrating the summer season at a more convinent time for everyone.
Come join me on the water at the posted coordinates (in a boat, NON-MOTORIZED of course) to welcome the summer season. I will be in my yak at the above coordinates from 8:30am to 9:30am. You will need to be at said location to get credit for attendance.
This is a SPLASH-MOB, which mean it is a 5 terrain event. You will need a boat of some sort to get credit for attending.
