Going out the gate - Elise, Red Sky and Echappee

It took the entire distance from Alcatraz to Crissy Field for Echappee to hoist and unfurl her sails.

Nat: 'Brian, Echappee just shut off her engine, we need to slow down'
 


Looks like there is a loose turning block. 


Nathan's house.

Nat: 'Nathan, you have a fender out.'


Red Sky looking really good


Really really good

Echappee has sails!


Not super trimmed yet but that's the next step




Speaking of trimming, Brian's an ace


Ebb current going in the same direction as the wind resulting in some really nice smooth water


Elise racing Red Sky and catching up.


 Off!

Sailing under the gate




Oops, sinking?
 Yes, the mast is still there
