Went sailing on Saturday with Mom and Dad and the Blue Angels. It was Fleet Week. Last year we anchored off Angel Island and watched from fairly far away. This year we were right in the action. The Blue Angels were thundering only 100 feet or so above our mast. Quite a site. Gorgeous day. Dad sailed the whole day. I don’t think I got to touch the helm. Great fun! Time for a cocktail afterward too. Nice.

My First Year On Charisma
Doesn’t seem possible it’s been a year already since I acquired Charisma! In fact, according to the log book, the first sail was on Sept 1st, 2007. Wow, what a year. Lots of day sails, some great overnights, several fish caught and of course the “epic” Santa Barbara trip in May. For 2009, I hope we’ll get some more coastal cruising (Drakes Bay, Santa Cruz, Half Moon Bay?). Today, I went for a single handed sail on Charisma. Gorgeous day on the Bay. Saw the ridiculously large Maltese Falcon. What a joke that someone feels they need to build a private yacht the size of that thing. See for yourself how big it is.
