After a trip mostly without wind, we finally have some on the final stretch into San Fransisco. It was forecasted to arrive around 8am and the forecasts were spot on, building to to lower twenty knot range. The push is helping us time our arrival for before 1630, so we don't get caught in an ebb tide opposing those winds. Once we get under the Golden Gate bridge and around the corner into Sausalito, the wind should abate and we'll tie up for a few days.
It's been a week so far: shorter than I anticipated for getting into San Fransisco, but it feels like a long time. I think we're all really looking forward to the rest.
It looks like the winds will crank up out here while we're in the Bay, then dissipate again for our next leg moving on to Santa Catalina Island and San Diego. We've got extra time to play with though, so who knows: maybe we'll sit and wait for wind. Nah...
