October 16, 2011
Went for an afternoon sail with Gail and Howard Berman, Victor, Lynne and me. Winds were light but enough for sailing. Headed across the bay from Ballena Bay to Hunters point. Sandra and Doron were on Messing About and coincidentally were also heading for Hunters Point. We me up off the point, which is were Doron took the picture below. We then headed north towards the Bay Bridge before turning back to Ballena Bay. On the Bay about 4.5 hours. Other picture below is at the end of the sail. Lynne and I then took the dink for a motor around the island.

Fleet week Oct 8, 2011

End Time: 10/8/11 5:37 PM
Active track info:
Distance: 19.9 NM
Total time: 4h 33'

Took Lynne, Victor, Eric and two friends of Victor's (Sara and Priscilla) out on the bay for fleet week to watch the blue angels.
We were out for 4.5 hours and went 20 NM. At first there was no wind. So we motored towards the Bay Bridge.
But after we got under the bay bridge the winds quickly picked up to 20 knts with gusts to 25. We motored over to the lee side of Alcatraz to get out of the wind and waves.
Eric got sea sick, poor kid. When the blue angles show began we motored over to the west side of Alcatraz for a better view. It was a great show. Ended up motoring back to the slip because the main halyard got twisted around the radar.

Took a quick sail after work to meet Sandra and Doron who had sailed down from Alameda Marina. The had wanted to sail into our dock, but it was a low low tide (-.5) and they could not make it over the bar. It was a beautiful night, warm and with a slight breeze. After hanging out a while we headed back and Sandra and Doron did as well.
