The end of free time, starting B-school at Davis
I'm starting business school at UC Davis! It's the Bay Area Working Professional (evening and weekends) program, classes on Fridays and Saturdays every two weeks for the next three years. I guess this is the end of wondering 'what shall I do this weekend?'
Racing the YRA Southern Cross on Wayne's Quest 33
I joined skipper Wayne and crew of Rene, Gus, and Matt for the YRA's Southern Cross race, which was originally scheduled to be out to the Farallones. I guess the race committee saw the weather forecast and changed the race; good call.

John and I joined Chris on his F-27 for the 5th race of the YRA Inter Club series. It was in the southbay, it was windy, and it was wet.
Parents visiting for a week
My parents visited for a week; we sent them on a three-day sailing class to get their ASA Basic Keelboat certification. Bekks was a bit afraid of the waves, but overcame her fear and is now known as "Capt. Bekks".

Friday night beer-can racing on John's FT10
Sara and I joined John and company for another friday night beer-can race aboard his FT10. We had a great start, were right behind the leaders going into the spinnaker run, and saw top speeds above 15kts downwind!
