Cruising the Bay at 1500 Feet

By John Arndt | January 10, 2018 | San Francisco Bay |

Saturday was a stunning day to be cruising the Bay. Though, this time, we did it from about 1500 feet. The view is a little different than from sea level.

While we were cruising China Camp from above, some Bay sailors were anchored out and enjoying this local cruising destination.

The Bay Area looks as magical as ever from a small plane, though the two-dimensional experience of sailing is certainly quieter than the three-dimensional experience of flying. And, while we love drone footage (archaic term), it’s really cool to be up there yourself.

The Petaluma River has just as many twists and turns from above, but the difference is, you can ignore them.

Captains Courageous on the Big Screen
As a movie buff who spent endless hours of adolescence watching movies from the ’30s and ’40s on TV channels with high numbers (like 36, 40 and 44), usually worn-out prints badly chopped up by do-it-yourself used-car-dealer ads, this editor can only wonder how she managed to miss seeing Captains Courageous.
