PS.  Ron, Little Bay off Fleets Bay will be packed with several boats from our yacht club as well as the normal weekend crowd.  We are planning a no host beach party for late afternoon.  If you are in the area you are welcome to join us.

We did, too, 13+ nm out the Golden Gate Bridge to the "Lightbucket" in 8 ft. seas at 8 seconds in 25 kt. winds with gusts to you-name-it.

A lovely ride!  :shock:

Just for giggles, what did the rest of you do?    :->

Great Weekend!  Nice breeze both days.  Had about 8 boats from the YC and 4 or 5 others anchored around us.  Hor'dourves, burgers, games on the beach followed by the limbo  :shock: and desert around the bonfire after sunset.   Local merchants really did it right by donating dinners, boat bags, hats, etc to the prize chest.
