Last Saturday I saw lotsa little bitty boats leaving the Richmond YC harbor. DM and I tried to get out before noon but the wind was right on the nose. Ended up getting stuck partly because 1. there...
These photos are just terrific, Matt! Will you keep your new boat nearby or at home? I look forward to seeing you when you bring it to the water, christen and splash it. I hope you'll tell us when...
Ants, I am amazed that you never tried iceboat sailing. Maybe next winter.
Skeeter iceboat racing. The fellas I interviewed in Wisconsin seemed so mild mannered, so modest and polite. So normal. And yet they go out and do this. Go figure.

In Big Daddy we went clockwise, circled Alcatraz and - WAIT! WHAT!? - the rest of the world was on starboard.

If anybody knows this SSS-registered boat, here's a nice photo of his/her...
If this is a quiz and there is macapuno at the end of it, I finally know the answer.
That's interesting. Not ten minutes after I posted here Ken from Pirates Lair called me on my phone, took my order, promised to mail it to Oxford, Mississippi. Proof that there are still...
This post should be titled "What I didn't See", for the following reason:
My friend, Kees, flew out from Mississippi to sail in the Fiasco with me. He expected a tshirt, loved the one I gave him...
I went down to E Dock today to check on DM and noticed that Watson had gone missing aboard his own new boat, the nordic tug. Gone to far shores? Motored over to get fuel in Sausalito? Don't know. I...
Hi, Rick!
what is your new boat? where is your new boat? where will you go cruising? will you be in the DELTA this summer? if you will I'll see you there!

Bow to the wind. No need for a tow this morning so I hadn't turned her 'round.
I'm sitting in Dura Mater's cabin, toasty warm and dry, rocking and rolling in her slip here on E Dock at RYC. According to the wind doohickey at the entrance to the harbor the gusts are 27 knots and...
Nice photo of Marsha, Ants.
Howard's boat looks a bit like my first boat, a 15' West Wight Potter, which I sailed on Wisconsin lakes. Maybe Howard will bring his boat up, participate in the...
Good to know somebody is watching over you, Skip. :-)

Glen Garfein (pronounced Garfeen) is a fine photographer and member of Berkeley Yacht Club. Here is a series of photos he took from the BYC markset boat during the recent Berkeley Midwinters. Glen...
thanks, Matt! I so enjoy your photos: Especially the ones with you smiling. The enjoyment you feel sailing Starbuck is apparent. Sometimes I see you entering the harbor with your outboard pushing you...
I don't know what Greg does with that boat, but she just lights up when he sheets in the jib. And what was this? A new deep blue, almost purple spinnaker? Wow. Wish I'd been able to take a photo, I...

hehehe Thanks, Mike. I still have your diesel container, plundered when I visited the Cunningham YC back in 2018. Every time he sees it, Bob J asks, "when are you going to return that?" As if.
Whitall, to where are you moving? The East Coast is such a big place. Must be somewhere you can sail, right? Have you already bought a new boat? Don't just leave. I'll bet the sailors will miss you...
