Bathing Beauties on the Bay

"If you didn’t know any better, you might think this shot was snapped someplace warm and tropical," writes Bryan Jay Miller of the Beneteau 323 Orion. "I actually took the photo while anchored off McNear’s Beach at China Camp in early October. It was so warm that the guys had on shorts and T-shirts, the girls were in bikinis, and everyone was barefoot the whole way from Point Richmond. I got to dive off the back for a brisk swim in the 72º water, and eventually suckered everyone else into jumping in. We were even treated to a beat into a warm 15-knot breeze on the way back, still in shorts and T-shirts. It turned out to be one of the best days I’ve ever had sailing on the Bay."

Now that the weather is turning more fall-like, it’s unlikely you’ll run across bathing beauties like these anytime soon. If you do, be sure to send photographic evidence (with their permission).
