My sweet brother, ever desperate for me to win Just Once, had this to say about this photo: "I see you're in first place"
I futzed around at Brisbane until almost 1:00 on Sunday, waiting for some "5 minute epoxy" to get strong and repair my busted gas line fitting. Alas, at 12:40 when I figured the five-minute epoxy had cured for an hour, the moment I trid to attach the line to the outboard the fitting came apart. So I sailed back to Coyote Point. It got a bit dicey at the end, the last mile or so was done in <4 knots of breeze, just inching along. usually, sailing into Coyote Point, through the channel and into the turning basin is no big deal. This time it took 6 tacks against the current caused by the marina emptying out as the ebb built. If I'd left at noon, it would have been fine.
I actually tacked in and managed to get to the pump out dock, but no way was I going up the fairway to my slip. So I walked over to the truck, hopping in and drove to West Marine. I bought a replacement fitting and went back to the boat. The fitting went on the hose and 10 minutes later I'm in my slip. I pulled in from sailing down about 4:30. I got home about 8:00!
Also Brisbane is going to lien sale pretty good looking San Juan 24. Hull, rig and so on look good. There are no cushions, no sails and no outboard, but Skip has a little long shaft outboard for sale. So if you know someone looking for a small boat, this might be a good way to get started.
Coyote Point will be lien selling a very trashed Yamaha 30 and a nice little Intl Folkboat with an inboard engine, in the Spring.
What?! Didn't you tell him about your Farallones race? So don't take this in the corny way it sounds, but you're a winner every time you get out and sail the heck out of that boat
Oh really? Is there more information about it somewhere? I'd love to post it to a few places.
Turns out that the San Juan 24 belongs to the yacht club, mistake there. I should have taken pictures of the Freedom.
It looked like it was in perfectly fine shape, to me. The mast is fine, it's got the aluminum spinny pole, the rudder is there...boom is there. I didn't see any stress cracking at the deck, around the mast. I didn't climb aboard so don't know about sails or outboard motor. I think it was last registered in 2013. Definitely needs a haulout and pressure wash, but honestly, looked to be perfectly fine..
it's green. Ha!

That green Freedom used to be in the webcam shot.
Not sure if it moved of the cam moved, but it is not in the shot today.
It has been there at least ten years and used to be right in front of the Harbormaster office side-tied on dock 2.

It's over on dock 1, out at the end in some enormous 45-50 foot slip.
