It’s fitting that Dana Point, which was raided by real-life pirates in 1818, should provide landlubbers with the swashbuckling-themed Pyrate Adventure Sail. Hosted by the Ocean Institute, the cruise provides hands-on activities, such as raising the 8,000-pound sails of the Spirit of Dana Point, pictured, and dispels a few Disney-style myths about the ocean’s notorious human predators. “Buried treasure is one of the biggest myths,” says maritime program director Brent Rudmann. “Once they returned to shore, pirates spent their money very quickly. There was never enough to bury.” 2-4:30 p.m. Sun.
