A day out with Herve and Heidy


a 420! French design...that's the dinghy my family owns back in France, and the dinghy Herve used to race on. What a coincidence!





Heidy ready to take pictures...Nat thinking that she should have fixed the boat cover earlier...you'll notice that Elise is growing into a tree...



Beautiful view as the fog lifted



a happy man




Quote of the day:
"Roger: galley treats?"






Quote of the day from Herve (who had brought a bottle of wine)
'Oh crap, I wasn't thinking. Do you have a corkscrew?"

Nat responding: 'Herve, this is a French boat. Of course we have a corkscrew. And glasses."



Herve as the boat was going downwind/reach: 'wow, she's fast!'






I bet you don't get to see the Golden Gate bridge from that angle very often...



Product placement: Stanford Graduate School of Business...









Herve to Nat: 'this is a civilized country after all, they sail 420s'



This was Heidy's first time on a boat. Ever. And here she is setting the cunningham. She ran around a few time pulling various lines...helped with jibes and all...Pretty handy for a first day!









Roger, a regular on Elise!



I guess I was happy to have tacked...



Product Placement #2. I need a higher commission...



The gals



The guys



and Kermit!!!!
