Friends on the Bay...

Saturday afternoon was a gorgeous day for sailing, and I was lucky to have my friend Bruce Sinclair and Lenny Reich along with me. Like Bruce, Lenny sails out of Maine, and is visiting San Francisco. In fact, Bruce picked up Lenny at the airport and reached the marina by 2:00, where I had Spindrift ready to cast off. With winds reaching 18 knots, we close reached across the bay from Yerba Buena to Angel Island on the end of an ebb at nine knots over ground. The return trip in slack water with winds at about 9-10 knots was a little slower, but we were in the slip by 5:30 and enjoying a nip.
