Ahoy!
As I type this, I can see the city out my window and I can see the clouds parting with blue sky peeking through. We're not done with this beautiful weather! Let's take it when we can get it!
There is still plenty of fun to be had out there! Our Half Moon Bay trip is next weekend (Oct. 21-23) and I don't know about you, but I've been searching high and low for ideas for the winning pumpkin. I've got a two-year record and I'm gunning for the third. So bring it!
There are three more Hump Night sails in the season. Tomorrow night might be one of those rare t-shirt sailing experiences that you won't want to miss!
If you've been sailing in the South Bay, you may get a glimpse of the AC45 that is out there practicing for San Diego! I dare you, go try to beat them!
You won't want to miss our talk about getting your Captain's License! Learn how you can turn your passion into cash-in your pocket! ;o)
We look forward to seeing you!

TODAY'S TIP
Keep track of and document your seatime!
If you're considering getting your Captain's License one day, you'll want to have all of your days on the water documented. Anytime you go out for more than 4 hours on a boat, it will count as a day towards your required seatime. Download some of the U.S. Coast Guard Small Vessel Sea Service Worksheets from Maritime Institute and keep them handy for your skipper or charter company to sign.
A case like the one below, with clipboard and protective compartment for your documents, will stow easily in your seabag.
Come to our free seminar on Thursday night to learn more about getting your Captain's License.
