Sun is Overrated

Abby, Jessica, Brad, Dale, Ivi and Herb proved they aren’t fair weather sailors by taking a jaunt to Ayala Cove, where they report they were the only boat.

On Monday, we challenged our Facebook fans to not let a few days of rain and gloom dampen their sailing spirit. "Aw, rain for the next three days. If you brave the elements for a daysail, send us your photos," we wrote. Dale Angus and his crew stepped up to the challenge and sent the photographic evidence.

"We were out there, and it was just us!" wrote Dale. "We chartered the Hunter 31 Blue Honu from Club Nautique in Alameda on Wednesday. It was sunny in the morning but we knew it wouldn’t last so we were prepared for the rain and robust winds that arrived as forecasted around 1 p.m. We caught the instruments clocking the wind at 20+ knots."

Dale wonders what the heavens will deliver for their daysail, while Jessica and Abby model their fierce cold weather ensembles.

Big props to Dale and his friends for proving that they’re not fair weather sailors!
