A Sailing We Did Go

Stephen’s brother Marshall is living in SF this summer doing a Medical clerkship. Doctors have extra money to spend on boats and other luxuries. Since Marshall is working with doctors, he along with the other Dartmouth medical students were invited by a doctor to go sailing in the San Francisco Bay. This very generous doctor told the students they could invite family and friends to join. Marshall let us tag along. I was REALLY excited. Sailing around the Bay sounded like a lovely way to spend the day. I was also excited because it meant that we got to cross the Golden Gate Bridge which I have never done and see the Sausalito area across the Bay from SF.

Do you notice the tilt? We truly were sailing. The way the wind blew the sail was the direction we went and the direction we leaned. Most of the time the boat was at a 15 degree angle. Which is 15 degrees TOO much for me. Stephen was loving it. The girls were having a good time too. I seemed to be the only one uneasy with the tilt.

The boat. P.S. We saw dolphins! Very cool. When we spotted them Mally yelled out, “I knew there were dolphins here.” We all got a kick out of that.
