When the Mood Strikes

Sailing is one of the great escapes, and it’s nice to have a boat that’s ready to go when the mood strikes and the weather is right. It would be easy to forget during the past two rainy, gray days that Tuesday was sunny and beautiful. On Tuesday we spotted a lone boat out on the Oakland Estuary, one of the local Harbor 20s slipping in a pleasant, warm evening sail. When these moments arrive it’s nice just to cast off and go.

Today looks like another one of those days, and you know what 511.org will look like around 4:30 or 5 p.m. How quickly can you get your boat off the dock, sails set, engine off (or never on!) and be enjoying the Bay Area’s great escape?
