Thanks Bob.
That blue is awfully dark.
I'm happy to buy flares. With any luck this will be just one on many offshore adventures. When I took the Safety a Sea class a few months ago, the...
I was sitting in Puffin's cockpit this afternoon, watching a video on splicing dynema double braid when a black J motored past and yelled "COMING TO HALF MOON BAY?"
I would like to but there are a...
I would enjoy a leisurely slide southward. Probably all by my lonesome.

I liked this guy's articles and videos of going aloft. http://l-36.com/unassisted_mast_climbing.php
I went out a bunch of climbing gear based on this guys recommendations but I found that no...
Way back when, I took a OSCS Offshore sailing class. One day we were motoring from Halfmoon Bay to Santa Cruz on a glassy sea when we saw some fins. We motored over to get a closer look and as we got...
I have two goals for racing. Don't hit anything and don't be last. So far I am meeting my goals. I had a really frustrating start. I was last over the line then dropped in a hole just past Belvedere....

I had a really great day on the water yesterday. The in the bay SSS races are ideal for me and I am very thankful to have the opportunity to participate.
I race a big cruising boat because thats...

If somebody fell off their boat with a DSC handheld and pressed the emergency button, and I was sailing near by with my DSC handheld, what would I hear/see?
I have heard a loud beep from my fixed...
Nice pictures Sue. I hope you don't mind that I snagged a copy of the two of Puffin. It was nice hanging out with you and Tom guys that night.

I totally would have won RTR if I didn't have to go around a tanker leaving the Richmond Terminal! :)

Glad to hear you'll be out there, Tom. See you on Saturday.

Hey Tom,
We did say hello a few weeks ago. I probably was one of many that passed by and said "wow that's an unusual boat, what is she"? I'll stop by again sometime.

Hey,
I'm curious about this short handed racing thing so I just signed up with the SSS up via Jibe Set. I'm eager to learn more about what I have gotten myself into so I thought I'd introduce...
