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.

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.

Hope it's not wasting too much space on your storage @Patrick

If you can upload it, then it's OK with me. I think I have a 10mb cap per upload at the moment.
147   Patrick   2021 Dec 8, 8:36pm  

Very cool video.
148   Onvacation   2021 Dec 26, 10:49pm  

Carlsbad Sunset. Road trip with wife.
149   Onvacation   2022 Feb 5, 1:37pm  

Out to see
150   Onvacation   2022 Feb 18, 11:27am  

Taking a break.

I heard that island is privately owned and being bought and sold every decade or so for several million $$. For the life of me I can't understand who'd want buy such a useless piece of land in the middle of the bay next to a bridge (noise!) and refineries.
152   Onvacation   2022 Feb 19, 7:08pm  

New sail works well!

You have to build a cancel culture proof life, and they can’t touch you. It’s kind of what we are doing. Our simple life will not require much.

No. I was being serious.

You better bring your cannon because I have my sword.

Argh!

That joke would make a Jolly Roger cry.

@Onvacation and @Patrick, I’d love to join for a few hours of relaxing on the boat if I get invited. I can pick you up in Menlo Park on the way to SF Patrick. 😅

Amen, brother. This is my strategy as well.

Avoid dependencies on the corporations (esp. banks) and the woke Nazis as much as possible. A simple life is a great advantage in this.
