Wanderlust sailing Vizcaino Bay

Sara and I learned to sail together, bought a small boat, were engaged while earning our captain's licenses, and wanted more. We bought and rebuilt a bigger boat, sold our stuff, quit our jobs, and went sailing!

Here's our trip in a nutshell:

Pacific Cup big boat start

Rage crosses the line, looking fine!

Sara and I went down to the St. Francis Yacht Club for the Pacific Cup final start - the big boats! StFYC is very impressive. We went up to the observation deck and watched the 50-70 footers tack back and forth before the start.

Double-handed Pacific Cup start!

DH2 Start!  They're off!

I scootered down to the St. Francis Yacht Club on the San Francisco Bay, CA at lunch to catch the 2nd double-handed start of the Pacific Cup. This start is the small ULDB boats, Moore 24s, Olsons, and Dylan's custom Dogpatch 26 "Moonshine".

Friday evening beer-can racing on a Flying Tiger 10m

Cityscape at sundown

Captain John invited Sara and I to join him and the rest of his crew for a friday-night beer can race aboard his Flying Tiger 10m, sailed from South Beach Marina just south of the Bay Bridge in SF. The FT10 is a fairly new ultralight sailing boat with extendable sprit, giant asymmetric spinnaker, pre-bent mast with swept spreaders, and all kinds of other go-fast technology.
