Here's one of my creations for wall space, this one is for holding crew members sunglasses. As you see, if not crew it doubles for had & depth sounder holder.

Here's a peek of our boat through the trees from the top of the trail on Angel Island above Ayala Cove...Beautiful! It was one of the places on the San Francisco Bay over the weekend, July 3rd - 5th, that didn't get fogged in. Great walks, picnicked on the trail from one of the old forts...Some family joined us from Volcano and Eureka for the weekend. Much fun was had. Great Sail on the 5th over to Pier 40 and all the way down to south bay, Redwood City.

Here's Allan & daughter Alyssa breaking in our new toys! These inflatable kayaks that are incredibly packable in their own cases to store nicely on the boat. Very fun to use.

One of the upgrades made to the boat recently was a killer Wifi extender. I can reach hotspots miles away to get weather updates, as doing here in our recent trip to Santa Cruz and Half Moon Bay. Something tells me I'll be spending alot of time in that seat.

And a nice pic to go along with the one below for those who wanted to see how Megan and Alyssa have aged (gracefully!)

Had to post this pic of Megan and Alyssa taken at Pueblo Rooftop's farewell (for me) concert. Made me chuckle....

One of our goals this trip was to get helm experience for the crew that will be joining us on longer trips. Josie took basic keelboat on the bay in March and fearlessly took the helm on the ocean.

This race was going on in Redwood Creek Thursday Night. We dragged our anchor from the northeast shore right into the middle of the race, and finally abandoned it for the comfort of line tied to an old pier. Every boat would round the mark and then turtle the boat. Great spectator sport!

Friday morning we left for central bay, with plans for a sail around the bay and a comfortable anchorage out somewhere. We got luck and landed a spot at Angel Island where our mooring technique was much improved over last time. Fellow cruisers in their dinks made it much easier. That's Rina in the cockpit taking pictures of the approaching dinghy.

06/06/2008, RWC to Santa Cruz to Half Moon Bay to RWC
The crew of Follow You Follow Me left Redwood City on a furious Thursday night, with winds blowing to 35 knots *in* redwood Creek. We decided to anchor out in the creek rather than brave the flood tide and winds on the nose to San Francisco. Check out the chop in the "no wake zone" at the Sequoia Yacht Club!
