Great pics, might have to order some of these up!

Arrived home Monday around 2pm, great time.  Some fun stats, and a nice picture of Matt from h2o  1321 miles (round-trip), 24:36 hrs. in the car, 127.3 gallons of gas, averaged 52mph.  Plan is to drop the Soup back in next week in time for Districts.  Some additional pics up at http://www.sfyc.org/. and final results: http://www.sfyc.org/files/09j24results.pdf

Heading home...

Good day on the water for the last two races. Solid starts, boat
handling, and tactics. 9th and a 10th, but up in/near the top boats.
Solidfied our 13th place, but 1 point out of 12th, 2 out of 11th, and
10 was reachable if we dropped some penalties. Great time.

Another very typical SF Bay day. We sailed one race with the genoa
and the rest with the blade. It was a day of some good and some bad.
Two marks had an axe to grind and reached out to touch us. Didn't
break anything and had a good time.

Saw a whale yesterday and Dolphins both days!

Better than a J24 down below?

our J24.

Went sailing. Typical SF Bay.
