At Close Quarters

Yesterday’s SF Bay Singlehanded Sailing Society Corinthian race felt like every sailing event of my entire career rolled into one.

The San Francisco Bay Area’s boating community sailed safe and sane into 2021, moods as buoyant and bright as the ships on parade.

In which I found a blissful moment with a really small boat.

50 years of Alamedia estuary racing history, vanished by progress and a pandemic.

If there is a time to assess our sense of personal and social responsibility, the time is now.

In which a fouled anchor results in four friends getting more from a vacation than they imagined.
