Got a chance this last Friday to race in San Fransico Bay out by Tiburon, CA!  CYC puts on the races and I got a chance to hitch a ride with Bill Moore on his boat Shenanigans, which is an Express 27 out of SFYC!  The weather was 8-14 with lots of weather work and spinnaker time.  Water temperature was 56 degrees!  We took a third corrected with a Moore 24 being first corrected.  Great evening for racing.  The highlight of the race we were reaching in on spinnaker on the last leg of the race when we spotted a blow spout on the left side of the finish line.  You guessed it, it was a whale, type unknown.  Something that you want see on Galveston Bay anytime soon.  Great way to finish off the race.
