“ My first race in the Bay, the weather and wind were better than had been forecast so it turned out to be a great day for a race. Unfortunately we had spinnaker trouble during the first race and did not finish, we then were too late to start the race day. We then sailed to the Golden Gate Bridge..... and our race woe's were soon forgotten. Great day with great friendly people. Also have to mention Echo, our wooden sloop.... this is a beautiful wooden sloop and everyone admires her... rightly so you are practically sailing an antique in the Bay.... if I were to boil down this ramble into one word - Awesome! ”
