Spring 2015 catch all... the kids were towed out to Berkeley Circle so Tom and I took a very tiny rib across to Angel Island. More stuff from water polo and more spring regattas.
It was the EPIC SUMMER of RACING 2013 in San Francisco Bay! Seemed like every weekend we were at a regatta, except when we weren't we were at that other regatta known as America's Cup.
I created AlamedaWaterfront.com in the spring of 2010 following BMW-Oracle's victory in the 33rd America's Cup. While I knew very little about yacht racing, I was just watching what Larry Ellison was saying about transforming the America's Cup and growing it's audience via technology and television. I knew it had to be in San Francisco and some of my local sailing friends hinted that Alameda Point would be a perfect place for an America's Cup village. I had been learning a lot about Alameda Point from another volunteer project...
For Henry's 8th birthday, we surprised him with a cruise aboard the S.S. Jeremiah O'Brien in the midst of San Francisco's awesome Fleet Week. The Jeremiah O'Brien is a very famous Liberty Ship that is the only current seaworthy ship that took part in the D-Day Invasion in 1944.
