Very stylish dinner - full table and white wine...

Nathan out sailing with Serge and bunch of boys

The fog rolling in

The host in his new home (well soon to be home, when the land home is sorted)

Serge driving Echappée

Serge is testing the couch

Nathan driving his new baby

And there is even ice-cream!

Love French boats :) They come fully equipped :)

There is even a bell for the change of shift.

Nathan knows so little about cruising that he had to get a guide

The living room and kitchen

Evening sail, away from San Francisco

The aft state room...and Nathan's bedroom. There is even a nice little desk.

Nice little dodger...

Out in the Bay!

Cooking!

And there is a barbecue in the back yard :)

And none of this sissy boat fridge, this is a real one.

The patio

Under the Bay Bridge

Here is the beauty

I took the ferry so I could bike over.
