News flash! Jason’s just gotten an opportunity to do some blue water sailing! He’ll be helping our friends on the s/v Don Quixote get their boat from Neah Bay south to San Francisco. It’s a bonus situation; Jason gets the experience of crewing down that part of the Pacific coast, and the crew of Don [...]

At last, something resembling good news about Poo in the Bay: Success in Burlingame Baykeeper reached a successful settlement with the City of Burlingame to end the City’s sewage spills to the Bay. Burlingame – one of the worst sewage polluters in the Bay Area – has agreed to substantially improve its sewer system and [...]

Sunday, we decided we needed some mooring practice. As in, we hadn’t, and hey, you moor under power, not under sail, thus making the perfect activity for folks whose mainsail is still at the shop. And since Angel Island is the closest local mooring spot, that made it the default target. Miss Aurora, just starting [...]

I was awakened this AM by a woman screaming. I figured it was someone goofing (which happens) until the words “someone please call for help! He’s trying to kill me!” penetrated my sleepy brain. I paused just long enough to pull on some pants and rocketed up to the deck. Where as promised, a young [...]

My (infamous) Rule of Three gets highlighted by Toast Floats as they work their way down from the PNW to my neck of the world. Thanks Toast! http://blog.toastfloats.com/2008/08/rule-of-three.html

http://www.membersproject.com/project/view/GUMBK6 Roz says on her blog… AMEX GRANTS I’ve asked a number of favours from you already – to make a Blue Pledge, to donate to my wheelchair-bound friend David’s hand bike – but I have one more. It’s really important to me, and won’t cost you a penny. Amex are giving substantial grants to [...]

Last Wednesday, we got the opportunity to take the family out on a sweet little sundown sail on our friend Tom’s boat, s/v Tempest. Tom is a liveaboard right down the dock from us, and we’d taken him out on our boat a few times. He’s a great sailor and a fun guy to have [...]

Y‘all know I’m a Paul Watson fan. So it’s with great glee I announce the launch of Operation Musashi, this year’s Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary/Antarctic whale protection campaign. From the press release: This year’s campaign, Sea Shepherd’s fifth campaign to Antarctic waters, will be called Operation Musashi in reference to the legendary Japanese strategist, Miyamoto [...]

Another newsworthy from my pal Jonathan: http://cbs5.com/local/Sausalito.sewage.spill.2.792191.html Notice the article mentions the rate at which it flowed twice… but never mentions total amount. That’s… nervous making. They say the wildlife isn’t affected… have they asked the benthos what they think? Probably not. Just checked out the fuzzy critters that people can actually see and be [...]

Hurrah! Another blog person met live! The inestimable Zen and Lady Zen came for a quick visit and chat on Saturday. He was organized enough to take pictures of us and of the Marina Day BBQ (a BBQ I didn’t have to organize! Yeah!), so go enjoy them over on his blog.

I realized not too long ago that I’ve been pregnant pretty much the whole time we’ve owned the boat. And as you may or may not know, pregnant women are not generally the most physical. I stopped being able to fit my belly behind the helm around six months. My center of gravity and depth [...]

I don’t normally flog merchandise, but Zac Sunderland‘s family has t-shirts for sale on his site, to help raise money for his effort. So… make with the clicky and buy a few! Surely you know a bunch of cruisers who could use a new wardrobe item? What better than this? http://www.qbaroo.com/zacsunderland/main.cfm?categoryoid=1
