Asymmetric spinnaker on a top down furler. Just installed this year. Still working out the bugs. It's good for downwind and reaching.
136   Onvacation   2021 Nov 6, 7:10pm  

It works.

137   Onvacation   2021 Nov 22, 5:39am  

New camera. Old one at bottom of bay near Angel Island.

Thanksgiving Sail

139   Onvacation   2021 Dec 4, 7:34pm  

Another sunset cruise.


140   Onvacation   2021 Dec 4, 7:36pm  

Days are short.

I just found out that my birthday is a major Satanic holiday observance. Does that get me a ringside seat to the Apocalypse?
142   Onvacation   2021 Dec 4, 7:38pm  

Seems as though we all have ringside seats.

Dystopia can be a tragedy or a comedy.

I can't help but laugh.

HeadSet says
Capsized a keel boat as well on Lake Folsom, but not my fault as the buckle jammed when I was letting out sail.

@Headset Are you from Sacramento?

I spent some years there as a kid and got my undergrad CS degree from Sac State. I got certified to sail the windsurfers and 15 foot sloops on Lake Natomas

I lived in Ranch Cordova for a year or so. That girl in the boat with me was also a student at Sac State.

This is a cool time-lapse of the Bay from the Berkeley Hills. Jupiter and the crescent moon set after the sun at the end.

Hope it's not wasting too much space on your storage @Patrick

If you can upload it, then it's OK with me. I think I have a 10mb cap per upload at the moment.
147   Patrick   2021 Dec 8, 8:36pm  

Very cool video.
148   Onvacation   2021 Dec 26, 10:49pm  

Carlsbad Sunset. Road trip with wife.
149   Onvacation   2022 Feb 5, 1:37pm  

Out to see
150   Onvacation   2022 Feb 18, 11:27am  

Taking a break.

I heard that island is privately owned and being bought and sold every decade or so for several million $$. For the life of me I can't understand who'd want buy such a useless piece of land in the middle of the bay next to a bridge (noise!) and refineries.
152   Onvacation   2022 Feb 19, 7:08pm  

New sail works well!
153   Onvacation   2022 Mar 11, 6:26pm  

Another day in paradise

And they can't take that away from you.

Not without cannons and swords.

You have to build a cancel culture proof life, and they can’t touch you. It’s kind of what we are doing. Our simple life will not require much.

No. I was being serious.

You better bring your cannon because I have my sword.

Argh!

Where does one legged pirate go for breakfast?

That joke would make a Jolly Roger cry.

@Onvacation and @Patrick, I’d love to join for a few hours of relaxing on the boat if I get invited. I can pick you up in Menlo Park on the way to SF Patrick. 😅

Amen, brother. This is my strategy as well.

Avoid dependencies on the corporations (esp. banks) and the woke Nazis as much as possible. A simple life is a great advantage in this.

Heading out.

First night. Sucia Island.

FOCUS!!!

What did you do, swim to shore and take a photo?

Are the tulips there as a sign of the times?

Friend's wife adding some color.

Old saying; It's better to have tulips on your organ than roses on your piano.

Dinghy, and I've never been a good photographer.
