Sailing the central Bay last week, I literally ran into thousands of 'Velella velella' floating in a swath approximately 1000 yards long.
Walking up to 'Balclutha', I was mesmerized by the tall masts and yardarms, and I visualized going up the ratlines to break out the sails.
The USCG's annual Water Safety Fair is on Saturday, May at the USCG Station in Sausalito.
