It is, however, warm enough to sail. I sometimes lament the lack of seasons, but today I learned to make the most of it. Our friends rented a boat from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.spinnaker-sailing.com\/\">Spinnaker Sailing<\/a>, and told us to show up at 10am at Pier 40. We took BART over, got supplies at the ferry building, and set off for adventure. I&#8217;ve taken a dunk in the Charles on a few previous sailing trips, so I was glad we had an experienced captain. The weather was perfect, the sun came out, and the wind held steady. Went under the Bay Bridge and around Alcatraz island, getting a great view of the city, the bridges, and a few friendly sea lions. Had a great time drinking mimosas in the sun; not skiing, but still a pretty solid weekend.<\/p>\n<div class=\"inline-photo\">\n<div class=\"wpg2tag-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.levinger.net\/josh\/gallery2\/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&amp;g2_itemId=7930\" title=\"On the water\" rel=\"lightbox[1131]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.levinger.net\/josh\/gallery2\/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&amp;g2_itemId=7931&amp;g2_serialNumber=2\" width=\"150\" height=\"113\" id=\"IFid1\" class=\"ImageFrame_none\" alt=\"On the water\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"giDescription\">On the water<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"inline-photo\">\n<div class=\"wpg2tag-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.levinger.net\/josh\/gallery2\/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&amp;g2_itemId=7936\" title=\"Ruth at the helm\" rel=\"lightbox[1131]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.levinger.net\/josh\/gallery2\/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&amp;g2_itemId=7937&amp;g2_serialNumber=2\" width=\"113\" height=\"150\" id=\"IFid2\" class=\"ImageFrame_none\" alt=\"Ruth at the helm\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"giDescription\">Ruth at the helm<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"inline-photo\">\n<div class=\"wpg2tag-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.levinger.net\/josh\/gallery2\/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&amp;g2_itemId=7933\" title=\"Transamerica\" rel=\"lightbox[1131]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.levinger.net\/josh\/gallery2\/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&amp;g2_itemId=7934&amp;g2_serialNumber=2\" width=\"150\" height=\"113\" id=\"IFid3\" class=\"ImageFrame_none\" alt=\"Transamerica\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"giDescription\">Transamerica<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"inline-photo\">\n<div class=\"wpg2tag-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.levinger.net\/josh\/gallery2\/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&amp;g2_itemId=7939\" title=\"Dirigible over Alcatraz\" rel=\"lightbox[1131]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.levinger.net\/josh\/gallery2\/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&amp;g2_itemId=7940&amp;g2_serialNumber=2\" width=\"150\" height=\"113\" id=\"IFid4\" class=\"ImageFrame_none\" alt=\"Dirigible over Alcatraz\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"giDescription\">Dirigible over Alcatraz<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s mid-February, and there&#8217;s still no snow in the mountains.
