I can’t believe how few times this year have been sailing days, but now that the summer weather and wind seem to have set it, I’m hoping to get out there much more often.

We left Alameda around noon. On the previous trip the engine had been running a little hot, so I replaced the thermostat. Today it was still running hot and the water flow from the exhaust was anemic. We pulled in to Fortmann and replaced the impeller in the water pump (and added a bit of transmission oil). Once that was done and we ran the engine for a bit, water flow came back to normal and so did the temperature.

We motored most of the way out of the Estuary. We saw a sailboat tack right in front of a moving barge, which was really scary to watch. The sailboat missed the barge by about 20 feet. We were reminded by another sailboat that there are folks out there who don’t know the basic navigation rules and are a menance to themselves and others!

The wind was moderate to high; we sailed all day with a reef in the main, out of Alameda, across the bay toward Hunter’s Point, back up toward the baseball park in San Francisco and to the Bay Bridge before heading back. Steph, Linhy and Steve and I enjoyed a clear and gorgeous day out there!

Steph got a great picture of the classic wooden schooner Dauntless a few moments before it passed us like we were standing still (we weren’t!):

I’m planning to sail next Saturday. Email me if you’d like to go.

Immediately upon entering the yard I came across Pegasus 55, one of Phillipe Kahn’s “old” race boats (which is for sale) and one of the BMW Oracle America’s Cup boats. I’m a total “boat nerd,” as I really like seeing these types of things.

Here are a couple shots of the aforementioned vessels:

I wish I had ESPN.

From Latitude 38:

“In this first day of the Louis Vuitton Challenger Series to find out who goes up against the Kiwis in February, American entries kicked ass. In addition to Oracle BMW beating Prada’s Luna Rossa by 42 seconds, OneWorld of Seattle clobbered the semi-serious Mascalzone Latino entry from Italy, and Team Dennis Conner’s Stars & Stripes narrowly edged Great Britain’s Wight Lightning. The excellent latter match was the featured contest on the OLN network (channel 404 in Marin), and it looked to us as if Stars & Stripes was a bit slower but had a more clever afterguard.”

Where is my towel?
