We had a pleasant sail out toward Alcatraz and back via the cityfront. Today’s crew was Reid, Ed, Cindy and Cynthia. Winds were moderate, with a little excitement out around “The Slot.”

I like having the boat in Alameda, since there’s lots to see in the estuary, but it’s been making for sailing in the same areas as of late. It takes about an hour to motor out to the open bay, and an hour from the bay back in to the estuary, so a lot of time is used up “getting too and from.”

I like sailing out of Richmond, but it’s not as convenient to get to.
