The Robinson's First Sail With Us July 2011

What an adorable couple! This is a photo in the estuary as we motor out toward the bay.

Scott is "chillin" on the pulpit seat in the aft. Looks chilly for sure. We hope we didn't scare Scott and Lisa with their first trip out on the bay with us this year. We'd love to get them back out on a day when the sun is out so they can get the true feel of the wonders of sailing.

Rob and Kate on SF Bay July 2011

I love this photo of two of my favorite people. Hey, who is at the helm if the Capt. is with Kate in this shot? Kate and Jim always behave themselves on the boat, so we ask them back often. Our neighbors look right at home on the water and at their cabin in the woods too.

Lisa and Scott enjoy lunch on the back side of Angel Island too. Nice hat Lisa. It fit you well. Janie, was that the hat you left behind last July?  Thank you for putting together such a delicious lunch!
Here is Rob and Lisa taking in the view of the bridge.

Kate is slaving away in the Galley. Doesn't her salad look amazing? It was. That is by far the largest bowl our boat has ever seen.  The salads the ladies made on this day were scrumptious and healthy!

For once these pilots could take a break from being at the wheel. We are delighted that folks didn't get seasick despite them not having had much sail boating experience on the bay. Thanks Lisa for making such a delicious lunch for us!

Who is on the bow?

We managed to get Lisa and Scott out on the Bay with Kate and Jim this July. The weather was chilly and foggy, but the winds were calm for the most part. Lisa and Kate made and brought us a fabulous lunch.

Jaime and Elaine came to visit and we took them out on the bay. Their boat is still in San Diego. We have sailed many times and stayed many more times on their boat over the years. It is nice to finally be able to return the favor. Jamie hadn't sailed the bay for over 2 years and had forgotten how fun SF Bay is with the changing winds and currents. He is looking pretty at home being the Helmsman here.

 Here is Elaine enjoying the cover of our canvas dodger on another chilly day on the bay. It has been so great having them visit this summer. They are the easiest house guests anyone could ever dream of having. They have first dibs on sailing when America's Cup Races are here in 2013. If it weren't for Jamie and Elaine, we wouldn't be sailors today. We are so grateful they shared their love of sailing and their vast knowledge of sailing over the years. It rubbed off on us.
