Speaking of Ellison . . .

It’s a bird, it’s a plane…no, it’s just another party held by billionaire Larry Ellison, fourth richest man in America.

Acrobatic stunts and smoke trails!

You may have seen four brightly painted planes doing acrobatics over the Bay on Wednesday evening. Though enjoyed by anyone in or around the area, the planes were there for Ellison’s Oracle software company VIPs, invited on board the Spirit of San Francisco to ‘watch the sunset.’ Little did they know they’d also be treated to an airshow.

The Bay at sunset provides a perfect back-drop for the not-so ‘private’ airshow.

Wednesday’s weather provided a perfect backdrop for the event; as the four planes did stunts and left smoke trails in the coral-colored sky. We’re sure that those who caught the show, even if from shore, were treated to just as perfect a show as Larry’s guests.

Whether you’re getting ready to head south or just wish you were, you don’t want to get caught without your ‘colors’ – and our chandlery has them in spades.
