2004 Photos

First time sailing... and loving it!

Here is a picture of our niece when she was out on a sailboat for the first time and was totally hooked as you can see by her _expression. This was during a brisk afternoon run from the Golden Gate bridge.

Have fun and keep smiling, they'll think you're up to something

Kia Orana (#1090) sailing across "The Slot" in San Francisco Bay

A professional photographer (I paid for the rights to use the picture) snapped us as we were heading past the Golden Gate Bridge en route to a weekend anchored in Richardson Bay off the Sausalito waterfront, a short dinghy ride to some excellent restaurants. Note the reefed main and "Bay Blaster" jib, our usual sails for summer SF Bay conditions.

Bird's eye view - 50' & splat!

Looking down at the deck (my wife Dee Dee winched me up to the top of the mast using a 5:1 block-and-tackle with anchor windlass assist. Installing a new spinaker halyard block on "Purrrfect," #1929.

Retirment is on the radar screen. Looks like 2006. Then we plan on shipping "Purrrfect" from Ensenda to Vancouver via ship and spending at least a year cruising the waters near and far around our cabin on Cortes Island, BC.
