Pic of the Day

Ripping towards Angel! Click the pic if you wanna get bigger.

Went out for an amazing sail on Sunday with some friends. Winds were predicted to be 10-15 but there was a storm heading our way and that means good wind. Went for a run in the hills and the wind was cranking at 9:30. Thought about reefing. Met some friends at the boat and off we went in very light winds. Got to the other side of the Berkeley pier and it picked up. Soon we were headed towards Angel and it was 18 knots true. Got towards Angel and it was in the mid 20's. We decided to bear off and run towards the bay bridge as we had a little one below. Hitting 8 on the speedo as we run down wind. We get under the bridge and decide to head towards the ballpark. Winds keep picking up and soon they are in the 30's and the waves are getting big! We endure for a while but we are getting pounded. Yes we should have reefed! We head back and had a nice sail home. We did not expect this much wind but it turned out to be a wonderful day on the bay!!
