In a bid to get my customers/friends out on their boats for more than racing I had my leaving party on Angel Island and it was miraculously a beautiful sunny day.

It was sad to be leaving San Francisco after such a short time at home. I won’t be back till 2012. I did enjoy seeing everyone and the food that people brought was very good indeed – thank you. I also received some very interesting looking books and DVD’s to read and watch in the winter down south.

I wish I had taken more pictures of the festivities. Thank you so much to David and Scott for being the chefs and doing such a great job at the BBQ with the salmon, pork, burgers and sausages. Their great help allowed me to spend more time with everyone. Also thank you to Bill and Alice Helvestine for ferrying people in HeyAlice across Racoon Straights saving us the ferry tickets 🙂

See you guys all in 18 months….
