Sunday Sail Photos

On Sunday, we went out around 4PM with Jason, Amy and Heidy. It was blowing 30+ knots, at the gate probably gusting 35 to 40. To be more comfortable, we took a reef in. We went around Alcatraz, up to the entrance of Richardson Bay, then up to the Golden Gate and back to the Club to drop off Jason.

The ladies left again to go to Sam's for a twilight sail, dinner and night sailing back to the Club. The food was as usual delicious, and there is something special to sail into a restaurant...



Amy: with whom I had shared brunch and dinner on that day


Heidy who picked the Chocolate Decadence dessert...

OK, yes it is by butt sticking out

Angel Island getting ready for Sunset.



Elise is docked and will wait for us patiently while we are having dinner

Getting rid of our foul weather gear before heading into the restaurant


Docking the boat under sail (and with my eyes closed apparently ;-))


Arriving at Sam's. We will dock opposite that other boat, port-side to.


Beating over to Tiburon (now that does not happen often)

Taking the reef out except for a really not so quick release knot in the sail ties that were actually just there to avoid leaving the sail dangling...In the end, I just pulled out a knife...


Amy is driving!!! And she picked it up just like that!! and frankly she was much more dependable than Nick was the day before...

Amy is coiling up a dockline, so it can be stowed away.
