“ It was a fun outing in varying sea conditions. We had good wind until about noon when we hit the dolldrums near the city front and we had to motor out of the Golden Gate. The moment we did that we got into a different weather pattern and were able to sail and have some fun. We barely beat the ebb tide on our way back into the Gate and we had to motor from Ft. Baker all the way to Emeryville. Debra was at the wheel most of the time, with me frantically running back and forth from the bow. It's a lot of work trying to fly a gennaker double handed :P ”
