Sailing on SF Bay

Today, I was treated to 3 hours on SF Bay, our host was Len, 

who offered this as an outing to our Church members.

 I was fortunate enough to get my name in early. 

This trip had been postponed 2 Saturdays due to stormy weather. 

Today was great.

We sailed on a 43 ft. Jeanneau sailboat 

Len took us out under the Golden Gate bridge. 

It is always fun to do that and to see the bridge up close and personal.

 You can hear the traffic above. 

The bridge was built the year I was born and it is still going strong. 

They paint it constantly staying ahead of the rust and salt water air damage.

 Here I am in my Tilly Hat enjoying our sail. 

It wasn't too windy and the surface was pretty calm.

I loved being able to see my familiar surroundings from the water.

 There was a spinnaker race going on today... the colorful sails are so pretty.

Captain Len at the helm. 

He was a great and gracious host. 

We all had a really good time.
