New home!

SF skyline from the water
Moved Constance to her new location in Coyote Point marina last weekend. When we left our favorite anchorage at Angel Island in the morning, everything seemed calm and quiet. But it does make sense to check the local forecast! The Coast Guard had issued a small craft advisory for the afternoon and, sure enough, as soon as we passed the bridge on the left in the picture above, the wind started gusting and we went from full sails to reefed jib, then 1st reef in the main, finally to even more reefed jib in a very short period of time. Beam reaching at 7.5kn was quite some fun and we caught up with a much bigger Hunter even!
