THE LIP & MRS. E. JOIN THE CREW FOR A DAY ON THE WATER

The clouds parted, the sun shined and the fun began. The light breeze made for a mellow afternoon on the sea with good friends. After the sail we dinghyed  around the harbor and spied our first SDP (sit down paddler).

CAPTS BIRTHDAY

A day to remember. Started with a fishing trip off the point, then it was on to  Proud Mary's in the dinghy for breakfast. Next we sailed in clear skies, warm weather and 15 knot winds. Then it was time to drop anchor in Danalina to relax and watch the world go by. Finally we were back at Jack's for dinner and a delicious birthday cake. Wow, what'a ride!

ANCHORED OUT AT MONARCH BEACH

Kickin' back after lunch.

SW winds in the 10-14 knot range took us up the coast on a beautifully clear day. We dropped the hook west of Salt Creek and enjoyed lunch and a restful afternoon.

SUNNY SUNDAY SKIES

The Admiral is all smiles as we shove off for an afternoon on the water.

Hi there. Let's go sailing!

WE INTERRUPT THIS SAILING BLOG TO BRING YOU AN IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

Today is Jackie's 91st Birthday! Hooray!!

And the crew celebrated.

THREE BRONCOS SPEND A DAY ON THE WATER

Lefty (Cal Poly '68) took to the helm like a duck takes to water. 

Dan-O (Cal Poly '69) and Lefty are cousins that grew up in Norco.

Lefty and Dan-O, a formidable battery in their youth, joined the capt today for an afternoon sail, a bunch of stories and a lot of laughs. It's only been 43 years since Lefty and the capt have seen one another. Seems like only yesterday.

IT'S YOUR CHOICE

It's been said that the pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; the optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty. Both see a version of reality, but pessimists stay home reading cheerful postcards from optimists who are always on a new journey. – Michael Josephson
