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.
