On Thursday June 18, ten SEA members met at Fort Mason's Building C.
We discussed progress on items brought up at our last meeting, including excellent progress made on getting new dock space and getting all our boats back on the water.
We also brainstormed ways to inspire more member involvement, and to make SEA more visible. The meeting lasted about 2 hours and produced a lot of helpful suggestions, after which a sub-committee reconvened at La Barca to celebrate member John Paul Watts' re-birthday!

Wednesday - San Francisco's "June Gloom" was really getting me down. I looked out my window at the soupy gray, and found it hard to believe the forecast of afternoon clearing. Still, I got to thinking it was about time I paid an evening visit to Richardson's Bay to check out SEA's new dock space.
I called up Andy, SEA's program director, to let him know I'd be joining the evening's open sail.

Member John Paul Watts sends us this report of a Vernal Adventure on member Mike Brownell's "Windseeker":
How else would you celebarate the sun’s crossing the equator into the northeren hemisphere but by sailing 24 hrs to the point where the San Joaquin and Sacramento rivers meet? On Saturday, March 23, Elsa Frick, Tom Baumgrass, John Paul Watts and Ken Kuras gathered On Mike Brownell’s Tartan 42 in Sausalito in the pouring rain. We checked out the operation of "Windseeker" and her safety equipment and procedures, and then cast off at 1730.

 On Sunday, April 19, a group of SEA members who own their own boats decided to rendezvous for an out the gate adventure. They sent back this report:
At 0930, Windseeker (Tartan 42), Grace O'Malley (Ranger 23), Kelly Shawn (Santana 22) and Summer Solstice (Tartan 34) rendezvous'd under Golden Gate Bridge and sailed for Stinson Beach. Yes, a little nip in the air but clear, sunny skies, light winds - a beautiful day, one of the best some of us have experienced in 5 years of sailing out the gate though the wind could've had a bit more ooomph to it (there's a maritime phrase for you!). The seas were mild as soon as we were away from the Potato Patch swells - we all know how frantic and threatening the swells can be as they pile over this, the north bar. So kind was the Potato Patch this day, some of us sailed across it.

Jennifer and I were definitely surprised with the wind on Saturday! We took turns going below putting on layers - something we really didn't expect of the day.
We came over to Berkeley from Richardson Bay Marina, Sausalito, so we had a nice long motor over in the beautiful morning sunshine. We passed the poor dead baby whale that was tied up to some buoys at the mouth of Richardson Bay on the way over, you don't see that everyday.
Jen and I don't know the area where the race was held on Saturday very well - I've crewed with Pat Broderick a few times in the area, but never had to be responsible for finding the buoys. So our strategy was to "follow those Tuna's" !!
