I'm not sure I have too much to say, but here are some photos from boating adventures last weekend. On Friday we took Petrichor over to Keller Beach, in Richmond. I was very grateful that the drive over to Keller Beach was very calm and straightforward, and took place during daylight hours. That made it far less stressful than the drive over to the Emeryville Marina for Dinner on the Shoal the other week.

Keller Beach was a lovely little sand beach, which made it a great place for launching a small boat into the Bay. Here's a view of the beach from the road up above it:

The "up above" aspect did mean that S and I had to do some portaging on our heads to bring the boat down and then back up again. Thankfully the portage was shorter and simpler than our earlier Seattle adventure.

This boat likes to be in the water.

It was good to get to bring my mom out in the boat, too, since she provided space and resources for so much of the finish work.

Sailing with [personal profile] scrottie on Sunday was also lovely. We had light winds, so it wasn't particularly eventful, but I tend to think that's fine sometimes.

We wound up having 2 other people join us, and they brought along a black laborador as well, for the dog's first time in a sailboat. He was a little nervous but did just fine overall.

I appreciate that the culture at the sailing club includes a number of people hanging out and/or tinkering with things. It would be nice if our rowing club in New York had a way to encourage that sort of thing, but at the moment our boathouse isn't really the most pleasant place to hang out.

I have some small hope that our rowing club might take inspiration from how the sailing club's rescue skiffs are decorated.

I also appreciate seeing a yard full of boats that all get out on the water on a regular basis.

That rescue skiff is amazing! What a vibe. [grin] Glad you got to get out with your Mom, that's lovely.

CSC is unusual, I'm often told and reminded. There are plenty of clubs that are militant and humorless. Cal Adventures next door isn't as bad as most youth sailing programs, but there's still a lot of yelling.
