Evening sail through the moorings. I enjoy a nice after work sail. I usually get out on the water about 3 times a week. I don�t sail very far. Just a few hours or so. The summer thermal seems to come up around 5 PM lately. When I was younger we always referred to it as �the three o�clock southerly�. You could practically set your watch by it. And from what I understand, the �old timers� say it used to kick in around 1 PM. That�s why the races start at Two. But nowadays, if you don�t sail in the evening; you may not be sailing very much.

If you compare this page�s photos with those from April you can see how many more boats are in the water now that summer is in full swing.
I like to tour all the floating real estate in my bay. Last weekend, one boat kept landing and launching its helicopter every 10 minutes or so. OK. I get it; your rich, you have a big boat, and a helicopter you can launch from you boat. I�ve never actually seen the rumored owner use the boat. It�s always at the dock.
I do see the crew, every day; meticulously cleaning and polishing everything. Well I guess the owner is working to pay for his yacht.
