List Mates on Alameda Channel

Was at my boat this Sunday and saw the Cal 3-30 "Tequila" calmly tacking back and forth across the Alameda Channel with a light headwind and incoming tide to boot! They tacked just off the end of H-dock where we keep our Cal 33. Watched them continue their relaxing sail from the windows of the Pasta Pelican restaurant. Suddenly a large white asymmetrical spinnaker filled the windows with a smiley face taped on the chute and a Cal 40 attached! What a sight as they clipped along just outside the windows headed back to their home slip! Great day for Cals in Alameda! Donald Dutton, 1986 Cal 33-2, "Quantum Evolution" "Twenty Years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the things you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." ........Mark Twain
