Summer Sailstice

In honor of the longest day of the year I joined thousands of other boaters across the country and had a beautiful sail on Friday and Saturday aboard Wanderbird.  We stayed the night in Berkeley at the yacht club and saw Thievery Corporation at The Greek.  It was a new band for me but OBVIOUSLY not for the rest of the sold out crowd :-)  and a perfect evening with warm temperatures and good friends.  Speaking of friends...

here is a pix of me and the mainsail my crazy friend Tom Neill bought at the bar one night.  I have to say the boat sailed infinitely better than with the old main.... even on a 40 boat with a washer and dryer on board and a displacement of 23,000lbs new sails make a difference.
