In September there were wildfires all over California... this one was more like a prelude to the real devastation. It was put out quickly by the local air team. These pics are taken from the Alameda Bike Bridge about 5 minutes from our house.
The largest gathering of 29'ers in the western hemisphere ever! Simon and Henry raced together in #510, which turned out to be the former boat of their coach for the event Hanken.
While Simon was taking his Level 1 coaching class at Inverness Yacht Club, Kari hung out nearby for a few days on a little Point Reyes retreat. They got all kinds of weather including 30+ knot winds and unmistakable liberal legend Robert Reich was on the premises.
Epic ending to the 2017 Opti Heavy Weather Regatta out of the St. Francis Yacht Club on the San Francisco Yacht Club. It came down to the last race but Henry managed to fend off his good friend / South Americans roommate for the title, give dad the best 50th birthday / fathers day present ever.
