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\n\n\n<script async=\"\" src=\"\/\/embedr.flickr.com\/assets\/client-code.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-photo is-provider-flickr wp-block-embed-flickr\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/jlevinger\/10926968244\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/5513\/10926968244_648ac2fc42.jpg\" alt=\"Ruth at the helm\" width=\"375\" height=\"500\" \/><\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-photo is-provider-flickr wp-block-embed-flickr\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/jlevinger\/10926898426\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/3779\/10926898426_6abffeaebb_z.jpg\" alt=\"On the water\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" \/><\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s mid-February, and there&#8217;s still no snow in the mountains.
