Sailing in Tomales Bay

Before I returned home to Oregon I decided to take a quick detour to Tomales Bay for a sailing excursion with a friend from working at JPL. I also crashed a yacht club party while I was in town. This was actually the second time that I visited the yacht club and bay over the summer. The first time was about a month prior.

I’m on a boat!  I’m on a boat! Everybody look at me cause I’m sailing on a boat!

Midway out on our sail some of Sondy’s friends motored up alongside and handed across a beer using a net.

Then I got demoted to crewing again.
