This log entry is an eclectic collection of photographs. Listed in no particular order and without reference to date, these photos share only the fact they deal with some aspect of the ocean and boating.

Maybe you will recognize some of the locations. Who knows? If you're a sailor you might even see yourself waving at the camera from the deck of one of these boats.

Avalon Bay, Santa Catalina, California

Taken from a location above the city very near the bell tower. The large catamaran in the distance is the Catalina Express.

San Francisco can be a fun place, but like other big cities it can have its quirks.  All-in-all the bay makes for good sailing (it's certainly large and windy) and the city is interesting.

Sausalito, California
