Sailing Away

Tony, Danny and I took an introductory sailing class out of Berkeley Marina today and it was amazing. We missed you Beau!

Danny all ready to go in his life vest. No need for spray gear today. It was 90 degrees on the bay!!

Turns out it was the last race of some sailboat World Championship

On your mark. Get set. Go!

Just enjoying the ride.

Everyone put out their spinnakers to come back after turning around the half way marker. So pretty.

Upon approaching the buoys they take down their spinnakers and make a quick pass around the buoys. Some boats almost ran into each other. It was intense!

The bay bridge and city. It was such a nice day!

Captain Liz brought the boat back into the marina! Seriously, I did. I was a little scared by how unconcerned Captain Eric was about having me bring her (our J-105) in. How did he know I have previous boating experience?


It was awesome! I highly recommend sailing! Next time hopefully there will be a little more "action" for the boys and less sleepiness from Dramamine. :)
