Illegal in CA.

Really?

It seems you are correct. It's a novelty more than a weapon.

It just goes to show, everyone is an uncharged criminal.

It's California, what did you expect? Reason?

PS. It's totally legal to openly carry a pirate sword. Will go nicely with your avatar. :D

108

Onvacation 2021 Aug 21, 2:24pm

I guess I will have to continue with my plan to bludgeon anyone who dares attack me when I am carrying my cane.

109

Onvacation 2021 Aug 26, 4:25pm

Heading out.

110

Onvacation 2021 Aug 26, 4:40pm

Glad I put a reef in the sail.

111

HeadSet 2021 Aug 26, 5:18pm

I thought the flag would face forward when under sail. Are you motoring in the above pic? Having a wake shows you are not stopped. Does the flag point rearward when tacking? I have only sailed Hobie Cats and small keelboats (and capsized every one of them trying for speed).

112

Onvacation 2021 Aug 26, 6:26pm

That flag was clocking around. I was on a broad reach.
Here's another pic

I was screamin' haven't been out for a while.

113

HeadSet 2021 Aug 26, 6:42pm

Nice!

114

Onvacation 2021 Aug 28, 5:15pm

In the wind

@Patrick @Richwicks

Might be a good day for sailing tomorrow. Are you down for a "three hour cruise" tomorrow early afternoon?

116

Patrick 2021 Sep 4, 8:56pm

@Onvacation I appreciate the invitation, but will be at the protest in San Mateo tomorrow afternoon.

But it does sounds like fun to do again. We should find another day.

Maybe 9 or 10 October.

The airshow is pretty awesome from the water. I usually go out both days. Sometimes I go out for the Friday practice.

118

Patrick 2021 Sep 4, 10:38pm

That sounds good to me. @Onvacation

119

Onvacation 2021 Sep 5, 4:29pm

Fair weather.

120

Onvacation 2021 Sep 6, 12:05pm

Wild life.

This weekend I am living on the boat.

@patrick @richwicks Are you free this weekend? It will be choppy

122

Patrick 2021 Oct 5, 12:53pm

Sunday might work for me. @Onvacation

Here, let me unfuck up my life. If I can do that in just 3 days, I can do it.

Work just got wild - so no promises.

124

Onvacation 2021 Oct 6, 6:52am

Sunday afternoon in Richmond if you guys can make it. I have crew for Saturday. We should leave the dock before noon to catch the show

Will follow up with email.

Quite the Air Show this year
https://fleetweeksf.org/air-show/

Held annually between the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz, The San Francisco Fleet Week Air Show Presented by United attracts fans from all over the globe. The waterfront event is headlined by The U.S. Navy Blue Angels and is the only air show in the United States with a commercial airliner, the United 777, to perform a fully choreographed act.

Evening in TX countryside, coyotes howling and neighbors shooting their guns in distance

I'm honestly not too interested in the show, I'm interested in the conversation.

You'll not probably going to read this, but you already know I'm going. I keep asking you if I should bring food, beer is a given :)

I want to understand different viewpoints. I've been savage with you before, but now my generation is taking over, I don't think we are as a group any better.

132

Onvacation 2021 Oct 9, 9:22pm

Blue Angels

133

Onvacation 2021 Nov 6, 4:11pm

Rigged and ready to go. Sunset eail.

134

rocketjoe79 2021 Nov 6, 4:40pm

Are you running a spanker with your jib? Just for downwind runs?

135

Onvacation 2021 Nov 6, 7:09pm

Asymmetric spinnaker on a top down furler. Just installed this year. Still working out the bugs. It's good for downwind and reaching.

136

Onvacation 2021 Nov 6, 7:10pm

It works.

137

Onvacation 2021 Nov 22, 5:39am

New camera. Old one at bottom of bay near Angel Island.

138

Onvacation 2021 Nov 26, 5:57pm

Thanksgiving Sail

139

Onvacation 2021 Dec 4, 7:34pm

Another sunset cruise.

140

Onvacation 2021 Dec 4, 7:36pm

Days are short.

141

Ceffer 2021 Dec 4, 7:36pm

I just found out that my birthday is a major Satanic holiday observance. Does that get me a ringside seat to the Apocalypse?

142

Onvacation 2021 Dec 4, 7:38pm

Seems as though we all have ringside seats.

Dystopia can be a tragedy or a comedy.

I can't help but laugh.

143

Onvacation 2021 Dec 4, 8:38pm

HeadSet says

Capsized a keel boat as well on Lake Folsom, but not my fault as the buckle jammed when I was letting out sail.

@Headset Are you from Sacramento?

I spent some years there as a kid and got my undergrad CS degree from Sac State. I got certified to sail the windsurfers and 15 foot sloops on Lake Natomas

I lived in Ranch Cordova for a year or so. That girl in the boat with me was also a student at Sac State.

This is a cool time-lapse of the Bay from the Berkeley Hills. Jupiter and the crescent moon set after the sun at the end.
