Boys Ahoy!
San Francisco Bay

Had to wait all summer for it, but finally got a perfect sailing day --
steady morning breezes as the fog lifted, strong winds all afternoon
off Tiburon and in Raccoon Straits, and gentle puffs taking us back
to the marina in the late-afternoon light.
And a good thing, too, since one of my crew had flown down from
Portland for the day. To celebrate all our fall birthdays, three old
friends from the dotcom days met up for a one-day reunion.
Paul was supposed to pick up Eddie at Oakland airport at 10am and bring him up to
Brickyard Cove. But as I'm pulling into the marina parking lot, I get a voicemail from
Eddie saying he's still stuck on the tarmac in Portland. Damn! So I call
Schind's mobile to tell him the bad news ... and Eddie answers, with Schind laughing
in the background. They're in Berkeley.
Great day sailing on the Bay with two of the funnest & funniest
guys I know.
