MY LIFE IN BOATS

I assembled this a few years ago because even I forget some of the boats and events I sailed. Still fond memories; and still making more.

OLDEST BOW MAN IN THE WORLD?

I just finished the International Masters Regatta at the San Diego Yacht Club with a group of old sailing friends. I had not worked the bow of a boat since the 1977 America’s Cup. I suppose this event constituted “coming out of retirement”.

The marine layer (fog) never burned off today. there was a chill in the air all day. Given San Diego’s reputation we were shocked. The wind was about the same strength from the same direction. Racing was tight. The boats seem to be very equal.

We ate bagels from Einstein Bros Bagels for breakfast. After my experience at the Einstein in Grand Junction, Co. I was ready to go back.
