Costal Passage: first time out the Gate

I had a wonderful weekend sailing outside the gate for the first time. We set sail around 7pm on Friday, reached the Farallones at 2am and then headed to Half Moon bay, sailing all night. What an experience. We had good wind the second day, Sunday, but had to motor for the first night. I was lucky not to get seasick.

We had an all female crew-which was fun. Our instructor Thomas Perry was outstanding. We stayed on the water for 2 whole days. No touching land-another first for me.

I learned an incredible amount about sailing-and loved being out on the open ocean. I can't wait to take the navigation class which is the next step.

Here are some pics to share the experience:
