    What I Saw

    Thanks, Bob! Good thing you get Facebook, otherwise I would never have seen that photo. It is certainly an anomaly, like this one, a copy of which I purchased because it will never happen again in my lifetime: and welcome to Tom, who has secured an upwind slip on the cool kids' dock, the one...

    What I Saw

    PIER 1 ½ AND THE FERRY BUILDING On a crystal clear day in early March, the forecast of 5-10 knots did not disappoint. There was a slight swell from the ocean as I crossed the Bay toward San Francisco from the north in a building flood. On the way over I photographed Treasure Island. It is...

    What I Saw

    Seriously love Grok. This is the response I got when I typed 'Dura Mater': It seems there might be some confusion in your request. “Dura mater” is a term from anatomy, referring to the tough outermost membrane covering the brain and spinal cord. However, it doesn’t directly relate to sailboats...

    The Bullship Race: The Ultimate Singlehanded Race

    Last year Bob Johnston motorsailed us over to Sausalito so I could take photographs of this race. Itty bitty El Toros race from Sausalito to the St Fancy and then everybody stands around and drinks Irish Coffee on the lawn. And since everybody likes snapshots, here are a couple more: If...

    Cruise Down to Half Moon Bay, anyone?

    Awww, it's so nice down there. I'm looking at the weekend of February 15, preferred weather and conditions permitting. I plan to stay at least two nights. Maybe call up Dave Morris, see how he's doing, whether he'd like to come down to the HMB YC Clubhouse. Is anyone else interested? Dave...
