Does the owner of sail #1691 follow this board? Check out the picture on 'Lectronic Lattitude of 1691 lookin' good off Angel Island in SF Bay . . .

Scroll down a bit to the 'Hey sailor' article . . .
For you non-bay folks, yesterday was a little wild and wooly in the wind department . . . Maydays coming in all afternoon for capsized boats (small race boats). Scroll on down to another article about one flipping near Alcatraz. Sure was glad I was on my 34, enjoying fast sailing in the brisk wind!

Looks like a good sailing day!
It was a wild day! I crossed the slot from the south bay to Richmond passing behind Angel Island around 3:00 Sunday. My wind instrument had the wind at 32 with gusts to 38! I was heeled over 20 degrees just on bare poles! CG choppers everywhere with lot's of activity on the radio.
Good times...
#1691 is Peter And Jytte Birnbaum's Surprise out of Corinthian Yacht Club
I'm guessing they don't follow this board . . . If you know them, could you make sure they know about their claim to fame?
