Rounding Pt. Reyes lighthouse we had our first distant view of
the Golden Gate Bridge. San Francisco affords sailors a superb playground
to enjoy the sport. We took family and friends out to enjoy what is close
to our hearts.

At Drake's Bay we laughed at our first wet landing. Notice Sue's life preserver inflated when we dunked in the surf.

Lots of sailboats on the playground in front of 'The Gate'.

Dream Chaser was double-reefed in 20+ knots of wind, and the boat speed was 7+ knots! She was on a beam reach and comfortably heeling.
