Sail the Bay for Memorial Day, and Sailagram

One great thing about being a sailor on San Francisco Bay is that you don’t have to spend your Memorial Day weekend battling traffic and TSA lines to get away. Like tacking for clear air, you can drive toward the Bay to get away from it all. Sure, it’s supposed to be gray, but you probably own lots of fleece, so why not use it? If you plan to be in, on or around the water this weekend, we want to remind you to send some shots of your smiling crew for our monthly Sailagram. Sunny smiles will brighten any cloudy day. A sampling of photos from our April Sailagram appears below. Send in your May photos to [email protected] by Tuesday to make it into the May Sailagram pages.

For a low carbon footprint weekend, stay close to home and go sailing. If you head out tomorrow morning, you can watch the start of the Master Mariners Regatta off the St. Francis Yacht Club, starting at noon. California Offshore Race Week also starts tomorrow with the Spinnaker Cup to Monterey — the first warning gun is off the St. Francis Yacht Club at 10:25.

See you on the water!
