With a spectacular mural of the Capistrano Bay coast as it was in Richard Henry Dana Jr.\u2019s time as background, the fifth public community reading of Dana\u2019s Two Years Before the Mast<\/em><\/strong> will take place on March 27, 28 and 29th<\/sup> at the Nature Interpretive Center, 34558 Scenic Drive.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"RH<\/a>Over one hundred volunteer readers will read for eight to ten minutes each, completing the entire book in about 15 hours over three days.\u00a0 In addition, volunteers are needed to serve as \u201cwatch officers\u201d to oversee and manage each watch (that means shift, to land lubbers).<\/p>\n

The reading in 2015 marks the bicentennial year of our city\u2019s namesake.\u00a0 Richard Henry Dana Jr. was born on August 1, 1815.\u00a0 So come volunteer and join us \u2013 or just to watch and listen.<\/p>\n

Reading times:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Friday, March 27, 1pm to 4pm<\/strong><\/p>\n

Saturday, March 28, 9am to 6pm<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sunday, March 29, 9am until we finish the book (around noon)<\/strong><\/p>\n

To volunteer, send an e-mail to twoyearsbeforethemastdp@gmail.com<\/em><\/a> or call 949-899-0907.<\/strong> Please provide your name, e-mail address, a phone number and a preferred time to read aloud for eight to ten minutes or to volunteer for a two-hour shift.<\/p>\n

To celebrate this landmark year and to thank our volunteers we extend an invitation to our participants to attend a reception on Sunday, March 29, around noon \u2013 just as soon as the book confirms that Dana is safely back in Boston harbor at the end of his voyage.<\/p>\n
