Google "Cruising the Nothwest Coast" for sale. Multiple copies for sale.
I posted a reply yesterday, but it's not here? Any ideas? Pat Broderick
What "bugs" me are these new focused headlights that confuse my nighttime driving orientation. How much DNA do I share with a moth?
NANCY doesn't have a proper nav station; we use the head compartment sitting on the porta potty with a small shelf for that. So along with the big paper charts I carry a N. California Chart Book. ...
I've run races on SF Bay since the 1980s -- more than 300. So let me jump in here. I'd be careful about loose discussion having to do with what yacht club is friendly or not. A particular yacht...
Alan, Since no one else has commented here goes. Thanks for the reminder. Lots of old names and faces and boats. I enjoyed the interviews and the views. Pat Broderick
There's a Spaulding Clipper mounted on posts at the entrance to Clipper Yacht Harbor in Sausalito, a hundred yards away from Myron's old boat works, now a non-profit boatyard. I'll try to remember...
Have you thought about running all these charts and description by the Coast Guard Permit Office? Pat Broderick
I think Alan nailed it. Prepare the boat and yourself for safety. Take the SAS training, either in person (best) or online. Go racing. Figure out (ask or go to Jibeset and look at years of...
Autograph it and post in on EBAY! ;-)
I'd think twice about the Sisters for several reasons. 1) The depth issue 2) The wind issue 3) The current issue. At lower tides deeper boats might have concerns. Their location is often "hidden"...
For the 2010 PacCup we built emergency shutters similar to Max's. We added several things. 1) We glued foam around the inside edges so it landed on the window frames, thinking it would provide some...
Yes the SSS Transpac started at the CYC. Boats tied up in the CYC marina a day or two before. Friends, family, and interested folks could stroll along and talk with the skippers. The Start used...
John K., Thanks for reaching out about the CYC. I think the CYC race program is well-run and I enjoy sailing the races. Marcus is doing a great job, along with all the other CYC members who assist...
The "Corinthian Race" was named for the yacht club. Peter Hogg was a member (Commodore) at the CYC back then. And, yes, there have been several times when the race was moved to the GGYC. Yacht...
Ah yes! Those "GOOD OLD DAYS!" The '70s AND the '80s. Calling POPCORN just when leaving home for the boat, getting the second hand more or less at "60" before punching the winding knob back in. ...
Here's YRA's posting:
"It is with heavy hearts that the YRA shares the passing of Bobbi Tosse, the long serving Treasurer of the YRA and an icon of Bay Area Sailing.
Bobbi served as the YRA...

Here's a 1996 East Bay Estuary Race cap and a mug from the 1989 Farallones Race. No, the SSS hasn't always offered t-shirts as mementos. There have been mugs, license plate frames,...
I'm setting up my 2023 racing calendar and noticed that Saturday, May 13 is a busy ocean race day. Both the SSS Farallones and OYRA Duxbury Races are scheduled that day. A 10:54 1.6 knot Ebb is...
A capsized 110?
Given the weather forecast and lack of berths at Pillar Point I've decided to stay home tomorrow. There is a paid for dinner awaiting me at the HMB YC. If someone wants it, it's yours. PM me. Pat...
I don't think you'll find an old time SSS member who doesn't treasure the Vallejo 1 - 2. It was my first SSS race in 1984 and I have the two plaques that say I placed 3rd each day (and I think there...
No water in hull = rattle. Water in hull = no rattle
In 2000 I was teaching in London and visited Greenwich many times, where "Suhaili" was on display in the Great Hall. In the usual low key British style she was roped off with crimson velvet line...
