San Francisco weekend October 7th-9th - Tamara Lee Ann crew reunion

What a great weekend in San Francisco; it was sunny the entire time! On Saturday, October 8th, both the outbound and inbound Hawaii crew from the Tamara Lee Ann gathered on TLA for a great day on San Francisco bay. It was Fleet Week in San Francisco which meant the bay was busy with sailing and boating, and the star attraction was the air show with the Blue Angels, the Canadian Snow Birds, and other cool, fast, and loud aircraft. We didn't do any sailing but anchored out to watch the air show.  After a great day on the water we went to the St. Francis Yacht Club for dinner.  It just happened to be 3 months after the departure from Honolulu (July 8th), wow, time flies.  And Captain Doug presented all the crew members with Certifications of Appreciation, and Bravery (okay, I made up the bravery part).......

Then Sunday, Lorraine introduced me to Marty and we went sailing from Sausalito on her Islander 36 sailboat, Wind Catcher, with Julia and Robert also. We sailed some, but apparently it was one of the rare days on the bay when there wasn't really much wind. (Lorraine kept apologizing - LOL) We also saw Dennis on his boat Valhalla heading out the gate with some friends.

It was fun weekend hanging out with Lorraine and seeing everyone again.  Here's a few photos.
Cheers!
