Sailing Education Adventures

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.
