Staying with my friend Rebecca in North Oakland. Friday evening, she takes me out sailing with her friend Craig and a few others.
On Friday evening we went out with her friend Craig (and Evvie and Ann) sailing, from Emeryville to Berkeley marina, then out towards San Francisco and back. Adult beverages were consumed, which of course led to getting to pee over the side of the boat — unfortunately the biolumes weren’t out. Also some fine takeout sushi.
I got to sail — steer, mostly — from Berkeley back to Emeryville. Had a marvelous time, and made it the entire way from dock to dock under sail — which unfortunately resulted in spending some time mired both at the entrance and in the middle of the Emeryville marina, when the wind had died down and the bottom was especially shallow at low tide in the middle of the night.
Craig, as any good sailor should, refrains from using the motor unless absolutely necessary. But then when we went to start the motor for the final two hundred yards or so, the battery was dead.
We made it to a dock around 2:30 in the morning.
Still and all, was a fantastic time.
A fair amount of Saturday was spent recovering from the sailing trip.
