Happy Birthday, Commodore
Man, pretty soon there won’t be any room left for candles on Commodore’s cake.© Dick Enersen Warwick ‘Commodore’ Tompkins of Mill Valley celebrated his 80th at the Presidio YC last weekend, attracting well-known sailors from near and far. Among those coming the farthest were Ron Holland of Vancouver and Cork, Ireland, best known for most…
No Rehab for Piers 30-32
If anyone really thought the America’s Cup could be pulled off without facing a lawsuit or two, they don’t know San Francisco politics. In what appears to be an attempt at a shocking coup de grâce, former president of the Board of Supes Aaron Peskin filed a suit last week — the day before the…
Right Boat for the Job
Most sailors wouldn’t dream of sailing from Puget Sound to San Francisco in the middle of winter. But most sailors wouldn’t be sailing a bulletproof 64-ft steel cutter along that route, which had already proven its seaworthiness during an entire circumnavigation of the Americas. The crew strikes a pose before setting sail. Bad weather or…
Cruise Ship Passengers Robbed in P.V.
"I was surprised to see nothing in Monday’s ‘Lectronic about the 22 Carnival cruise ship passengers who got robbed at gunpoint south of Puerto Vallarta the other day," writes Michael Robertson of the D.C.-based Fuji 40 Del Viento. "This is sure to stoke the anti-Mexico travel sentiment in the U.S. media, and may put pressure…

Revolt, Then Peace, in La Cruz
"The normally staid VHF cruisers’ net for Banderas Bay came alive at 8:30 a.m. on Tuesday, February 21, when it was announced that Marina Riviera Nayarit at La Cruz de Huanacaxtle would start to charge a daily fee of $5 USD for the use of its dinghy dock for all those boats anchored outside the…
Consistently Inconsistent
As much as we love Mexico, we have to say enforcement of its immigration policies often tends to be inconsistent from port to port — and sometimes from month to month. A case in point is the situation at Cedros Island, which lies a short way off the Baja coast, 300 miles south of the…
Sadie Hawkins Race
"When ah fires my gun, all o’ yo’ kin start a-runnin!" exclaimed Hekzebiah Hawkins in Al Capp’s Li’l Abner comic strip. Sadie Hawkins Day is not until February 29, but that’s a Wednesday, so Island YC will observe it tomorrow. Gals, this is your chance: Grab the helm and go racing on the Estuary. You…
Sneaky Cyril Smacks Neiafu
The Boston-based Pacific Seacraft 40 Shango rides Cyril’s fury in Neiafu Harbor. © 2012 Gary Kegel Although this news is several weeks old due to interrupted Internet access at the scene, we thought this report and dramatic photos warranted sharing.
