Do You Have a Water-Exit Plan?
We’re sad to report that a liveaboard boater in the Oakland-Alameda Estuary drowned Friday night, apparently having fallen into the 55-degree water and becoming tangled in docklines or other rigging.

Lynn Potter and Larry Klein of the Carmichael-based Catalina 470 Beaudacious, vets of the ’06 Ha-Ha who have just finished the Caribbean 1500, will vouch for that. Here’s…
Having a Blast on Banderas Bay
People often ask us if a certain type of boat is "good" or not. It’s hard to answer, because not only are different boats good for different uses, but they are often good or bad depending on who is trying to use them for a particular purpose. So our answer usually starts with the semi…
Boats Break Loose in the Bay

Regardless, a handful of anchored-out boats ended up on the shores of Richardson Bay,…
