First Wednesday Night Sail


Last week I joined a crew for my first Wednesday Night sail with OCSC and Skipper Fred (pic, right). As background, OCSC has one every Wednesday with reduced charter rates for the 2-hour charter, and on the first Wednesday of every month they offer a free BBQ to charterers afterwards. This is a perfect venue to meet new people with similar interests. It's a lot of fun and the food is really good, especially the chili!

Being the summer, you'd expect the winds to be howling around 5PM. Not so on this day, we were lucky to see 3 knots of wind! We had to motor out into The Slot (between San Francisco and Alcatraz Island) to find a little more wind. The weather was perfect (sans wind) and we had a great time
reminiscing about past adventures. A great game to try while waiting for the wind is to identify the creatures that come by. Hopefully, I'll remember next time to keep my camera at the ready!
