Went sailing yesterday to get a break. Bit of rain on the way out but no big deal. Floating near TI and the wind comes up quickly. About 10 knots with just a genoa out. Sailing towards SF and I end up tacking up the city front towards the gate for most of the day. Soon the wind is up to 20 knots. We are hitting 8 on the speedo. Nice tack near Alcatraz and I need to avoid a marker. No traffic on the bay and I am the only boat as far as I can see. One of the most relaxing sails ever! Heading home with lots of wind and I decide to stay out a couple more hours as it is sublime sailing. It just keeps getting better!
We lost Kona suddenly two weeks ago to cancer. Being home without a dog is a drag! We signed up for a new pup as did three other friends (the dogs are all females from the same litter). We now have 4 new golden retriever pups coming our way end of April. Our dogs name is Hana after the town in Maui near the Seven Sacred Pools. One of my favorite spots in the world! We always name our dogs after favorite places we have visited. First dog was Sierra, then Kona and now Hana! Can't wait for our fist sail!
