Not sure what I will be doing with the lesson that is scheduled for Sunday?
Umm WOW!!!

Today operates in “Auto”! Cool but fantastic! Have a wonderful day family, friends , and crazy ass sailors (I am included as that one). Peace on Earth!

Wow! What a morning! Love it! Be thankful for more that you can see. Cheers People! Cheers!

Yes, Saturday was a great day, great sailors, and oh what great views, all on SF Bay! What will next week be like? Yeah baby, 2021 Fleet Week on our Bay.

Arrrr! What a great night aboard SV Matthew Turner! Cheers to Bob Gutgsell for the opportunity to have such fun on the water. It’s a thing to do on SF Bay whenever you can get a chance . Yeah, party on sailors, party on!

What a beautiful night on the water. Yes, those boats are ahead of us. Really does not matter. It is Fun, Fun, Fun, that matters, and that we had. Cheers!

The days are getting shorter, but the fun on the water is not. Sail on!

Great day! Great ASA 103 Crew! Great views! Cheers Sailors!

The sail boat world as well ⛵️

Keep an eye out for WhaleGirl. She posts info on whales inside & outside of SF Bay. Cheers WhaleGirl! ⛵️

No complaints 😎

This morning started with an awesome Charter aboard SV Grey Goose. You can never see the beauty of SF Bay & the Golden Gate Bridge! Getting ready for the 2nd half of the day on the water. Hope to see YOU out on the pond 😎

Cheers Sailors! Sail On, Sail On, Sailors!

Great crew aboard SV Cohetta on San Francisco Bay the last two weekends. They all passed their ASA 101 class with style. Cheers to a great crew of new sailors. 😎

Out sailing about 5 weeks ago. A smarty pants boom thought it would be funny to accidental jibe! REALLY? With El Jefe on board. I decided to give it a well placed left hook. You think my fracture is bad, you should see what that boom looks like . It did not do that again! 😎⛵️🤣

Now I just have to get my back straitened out.

Life is good, especially being associated to Modern Sailing, and Sequoia Yacht Cub!

Did I take to many meds this afternoon ? Nope no meds today.I just need a nap.

This view from the cockpit of SV Revelry is definitely a healing moment from my “Happy Place” . It can heal your mind, body, and soul. BTW that description includes fractured hands, and pinched nerves in you back. 😎 ⛵️

I was looking in my 1977 year book today, and found this picture. Looks like I knew back then that I was a sailor. Ummmm I am feeling maybe spinach with dinner tonight.
