We sailed about 26 nautical miles yesterday (about 30 statue miles), from Alameda to Angel Island and back. It was a blustery windy afternoon; we came across the slot reefed and close hauled and then eased off to duck behind AI as the winds picked up a bit. We stopped at the dock at Ayala Cove at Angel Island for awhile; Cindy, Steve, Lieva and Solon went to get an iced coffee and look around the island; I took some pictures and napped in the cabin. The sail back across the slot and down the Cityfront was equally vigorous and we even had enough wind leftover in Alameda to sail down the estuary at a good speed. A stop for diesel at Jack London and then back to the slip around 7pm.

It was just a gorgeous day with fun conversation, singing bad songs and fairly epic sailing.
