AC Pitchpole - Opps!
Local politicians, dignataries and the the press got a close up view of the AC 45's racing across the bay. Shortly after the VIP's left the race course, this is what happened.

AC Boats on the SF Bay
Getting excited about the America's Cup even though it's still 2 years away. This week, two of the 45' cats will be on the bay practicing and going over the proposed route of the race. Next year they break out the 75' cats that will be used in the Cup. This will be a nice appetizer! Here is some footage to wet your whistle!
Be Careful Out There
Our sailmaker Rui Luis of Rooster Sails passed over the weekend in a boating accident. He was moving from boat to boat and slipped into the Oakland Estuary on Sunday. Another boater saw him fall in and quickly came to his aid. Back on the dock, he was talking and responsive. He died shortly there after as his heart could not take the stress. I am so very sad. He was a great guy and helped me keep our sails in order. 48 years young and gone too soon. Rest in peace my friend. Make it a priority to be safe on the water and whatever you do.

Concept Yacht
A winner of the 2011 “Dreamboat” Millennium Yacht Design Award, this brave interpretation of the motor boat concept by designer Hyun-Seok Kim was inspired by all of the natural beauty and fun activities found at sea. Tofi’s unconventional shape and unique furnishings compliment it’s far-out exterior and spaceship aesthetic, stimulating the imagination on board, while features like the hide-away diving board and safety buoy system promote fun in the water. More pics here.

Light the Candles = Six Years For H2uh0
And what a ride it's been. 2005 was the year and there were only a few sailing voices in the the blogosphere. Tillerman, Horse's Mouth and Tim Zimmerman were my hero's and inspired me to start this blog. Now there are so many voices it's hard to hear anymore! At this point I am transitioning to another point in my life. I am sailing like a crazy person on the bay and in Mexico (I depart this weekend to hang with my buds in Puerto Vallarta and sail Banderas Bay) as well as working towards my goal of sailing to New Zealand in 7 years. In pursuit of that goal I will sail in the Baja Haha several more times. This summer, I plan to sail up to Tomales Bay for a week. And there will be a lot more chartering in Mexico and the BVI's. The next big jump will be finding the boat to get me across the Pacific. That will be an adventure! But not for several more years. In the meantime, I will keep sailing our Newport 30 on the bay and beyond. I will continue to post on this blog as well as start a new blog that will be a resource for the trip across the pond. Thanks everyone for visiting over the years and for your comments. Sailing is the celebration of life!

Stream From the Cloud for free
Ever since Google purchased and shut down Simplify, I have been looking for a way to stream music from my home computer to my phone when away from the house. Amazon has a new service that does not work with iPhones and Apple is prepping their cloud service, but in the meatime, I need a solution. I found a great one in Audo Galaxy. Download the app to your computer and phone. Sync up your iTunes lib to the cloud and you are good to go. It's easy and you'll being able to get to all that music thru your iPhone or Android phone. There is something cool about streaming music to where ever you are and I think it is a very neat evolution in technology.
