04/28/2008, San Francisco Bay
After a long winter of boat projects and mundane distractions, Rina and I finally get some quality time in the central bay during Opening Day on the Bay. Spent the night at aquatic park at the foot of Ghirardelli Square, great weather, and dinner with Steve and Sherri, who got a ride in the dink from the beach to the boat.
Great sailing out to mile rock and then down hill all the way to the waterfront where we watched the parade of boats from Crissy Field to Pier 39. Lunch in McCovey cove watching the giants crowd and the parade of boats in and out of the cove. We then turned towards home, with a brisk sail to RWC, including some 10.5 knot bursts due to the 30 knot gusts coming off San Bruno mountain. By the time we passed the San Mateo bridge, we were running wing on wing in 22 knots of breeze... a great way to start the season
