Last race of the Golden Gate Midwinters - 3/4/05
Pictures by Geoff Evans
The course was GG, Blackaller, Blossom, Blackaller, Fort Mason, finish with port roundings. Pretty vanilla City Front course. We managed to get a ninth overall in this race, our best finish of the season. |

 |
|
Skippy and Jan... sorry Skip, I know that you don't like that name but it's so perfect! |
|
| |
|
 |
|
It was Mark's turn to drive today. He's a very intense driver as you can see here. |
|

Jan and Geoff. Also you can just see the edge of Jerry. He was doing tactics today. |

This huge ship was entering the bay while we were racing. It's carrying two cranes over to the Oakland shipyard. There was quite a bit of fanfar as these cranes were coming in under the Golden Gate Bridge. |
|
| |
|
 |
|
Another view of the ship. Oh and that's me contemplating my next move. I think the jib is on the wrong side for the next mark rounding. Hmmmm... let's see floater douse.... jib on the right... can I get away with that? Do I have enough time to move it over to the left?... Good Grief! Why can't things ever be simple? |
