If anyone is not racing on April 22, please let me know if you can take 6 or so people out to Berkeley Circle for the race start. Generally takes 3 hours dock to dock, and there's always bacon maple...

Neil, congrats on your progress. The board recently set up a Google workspace. Let me see if there's a way to start a folder for individuals who want to do this with you. Not sure if that's...

Great pictures. What a fun and beautiful sailing day this was! In addition to seeing all the SSS friends, it was particularly special with the bay full of birds, harbor porpoises, sea lions, and a...

Thanks, Tchoup, for your willingness to volunteer (and come back for more). The good news is that Richard from Can O' Woopass, has worked some magic on our old VHFs and put together an antenna system...

Two votes for "I". I think that's as close to a majority ruling as SSS gets ��

No, we don't seem to have a receptive audience there to use their club. Anyone have an in with them, might be welcome to inquire on behalf of the SSS. As to the "Corinthian Race" I always thought it...

This is one of my questions for the evening post TBF briefing tonight. Stay tuned. I heard earlier today that CYC is also soon putting up a new antenna that will be like the one at GGYC so expect...

And I knew Richard would come up with a justifiably better answer :)

You are lucky to have never had to read the Cheese book. I was semi-forced into reading it as a new (and young) government worker starting with an agency that was a merger of two others. Let's just...

Probably because of the start/finish in front of GGYC instead of CYC? Not going to change the name. It's still the Corinthian race.

Funny. I don't remember SSS racers being so *particular* about...

I have somehow been collecting sails and they need to go. Would make good sewing projects although one is a practically new Ericson 27 main so there is life in some of these.

Ever since I first heard Bobbi on the radio during the Berkeley Midwinter season races some years back, I've always tried to channel that voice when I'm on the radio. She so inspired me. Sail on,...

I am just SSS's humble servant, Chris, who would have fallen flat on her face without Richard and the others. I might note you were on race deck all day and into the night, too! And let's not forget...

For anyone with Facebook, the GGR reports knockdown with loss of liferaft and PLB. That super sucks....

I didn't fly a spinnaker in 2018 and made it in 16 days. I flew a spinnaker in PacCup in 2022 and (would have) made it in 18 days, but we ran on engine power for a few hours toward the end so was...

Thank you, Bob. Richard and I are just getting our heads above water for the first time in days though there's still much to do, but that doesn't excuse our lack of public recognition to our amazing...

FYI - I just added our Race Deck photos.

Well....some of them anyway. Not sure why they're all not posting. Might take some time.

Thanks, Randy! You got some great ones from the water. We have the start and finish videos from the race deck that I will provide a link to soon but want to make sure that the commodore says it's OK...

I appreciate everyone's input. Very nice and helpful comments. In due time, I plan to post a post-mortem about the radio issues and maybe some of my thoughts on how to address this in future races....

I am sure Dura Mater beat me home this evening
Good job! Your race committee also had fun today. You all should come join us one of these days!

It takes a village to run The Fiasco but in this case, kudos to Richard for getting these out practically singlehanded. He's well on his way to becoming an official bug-lighter :)

In 2014 I did my first Fiasco and got around 2 of the marks. My goal in 2015 was to make it around all three; I made none. In 2016, I won my division. In 2017, I took this video of a line of boats...

Hi NATBF, I'm also an adventure cruiser but have gotten a lot of racing with SSS. My Freedom has a 27 HP Yanmar. I upgraded to the 3-blade MaxProp about 5 years ago. Most bay racers, I have heard,...

Chuck Hawley's place and other impacts from the storm in the New York Times today:

Battered by Storms, Central Coast of California Prepares for Another Deluge https://nyti.ms/3ZmLW6z

Thanks for the comments on the DSC. We have no plans of adding any equipment requirements, but this gives me some really useful ideas about possible future seminars or info that could go in...
