We hit 8.5 knots today sailing in San Diego Bay at Cabrillo point. Sail Flow expected 14/15 mph winds at the time of day. Beam reach in 1977 C22 with 4 people aboard @ 650lbs, using VIMA sail on iphone. We got wet from the spray - the most fun i've had in the 3 months of sailing.

My buddy and I were out riding our bikes today, had such a good time we never took his boat out. Could see a bit of white-capping out on the bay as we rode back to the west end of Harbor Island

Are you aware of the C-22 Fleet was have here in San Diego?

Yes, Don, we've spoken - so was it ideal conditions today, low waves but pretty good winds? After the 8.5 knots we went to >1 near the sub base

Drop me an e:mail so I can be sure to include you in some broadcast messages. For planning purposes, we'll be hosting our annual "Post Thanksgiving Day Weekend" at the Mission Bay Yacht Club. Friday-Sunday after Thanksgiving. Always a fun weekend, free dockage and use of the club facilities. More information on all the details will be coming out soon.

The wind was probably shadowed by Pt Loma there at the sub-base. We need to make a trip around the horn into San Diego Bay. Great place to sail!

Don: could I get on that email list, too? I WILL get my trailer road-ready and be able to San Diego in the near future. I cannot make the Thanksgiving weekend this year, but I expect to be hitting SD a few times next year.

Sure Bob, drop me an e:mail. Hope to tow over to lake Pleasant this January for the Birthday Regatta again. Really enjoyed the long distance race they had,(finished 3rd). Hope it falls on a weekend I have off. Retiring next spring and I don't want to take anymore vacation days.

You must have participated in the new "Trans Loch" race, Don. I've not done that one yet but it does look like fun. Hope you can make it. Email re: mailing list is on its way.
