This year's SEA Flotilla Day, our annual Season Opener, kicked off the season in style. We got lucky with a sunny and warm day in what was a really stormy March! We had boats of all kinds participate, from our small Catalinas, our Santana, as well as our awesome member fleet ranging from Santana 22's all the way up to Michael's 42' Tartan. Our Catalianas were able to dock unassisted negotiating the fluky, light conditions. Our attempts to negotiate for a fee reduction with the AI Parks folks did not go so well! However, everyone made it in just fine, and quickly moved to the BBQ for grub and cake. Thanks to Frank and Cathy for celebrating their birthdays with us, Leah for brownies and Karen + Wesley for music The ride back was particularly challenging for our Catalinas, facing light air and a stiff flood on the Tiburon side. They all dialed into the only way out: Short-tacking along Angel Island, where there was some current relief and a lot more breeze.

QuotesAWESOME DAY! Thank you so much! You guys really bent over backwards to accommodate everyone's needs and did a great job. ---Karen Thanks guys, the day came together really well. Thank you to everyone past and present who chips in to make these events feel full of community.--- Wesley
I think SEA chose the finest day in all of March for a sail and picnic. We aboard "Windseeker" with Skipper Mike Brownell encountered very nice sailing conditions all afternoon. Thanks for putting it together.--
A thanks also goes out to the skippers who brought out their own (or an SEA) boats. It was a great turnout. Oh, and I mustn't leave out everyone's appreciation of Mark for spending most of his afternoon eating smoke to provide all the attendees (I estimated 24, but they were moving around too much to get a precise count) with hot food. Well done! ---Bill
