Playing Hooky? Who Needs Weekends?

It’s been a terrible winter for skiing but pretty sweet for sailing. Driving out of San Francisco on Wednesday we noticed a few boats were ‘playing hooky’ and snagging a little hump-day sailing. Or maybe they were finally bolting south. The foolish ones were those of us on shore.

It’s looking like an ideal weekend for sailing in East Bay events like the BAYS Winter Series #3 for youth hosted by the Encinal Yacht Club on the Estuary, hitting the Midwinters on Lake Merritt in Oakland, or joining Berkeley YC’s Midwinters or Island YC’s Island Days. For the rest of us, a sail over to Angel Island for a hike to the top would only improve upon the views shown above.
