This was one of our first big missions, with a nice breeze and real Bay sailing.  Searaven hit 7 kts on a beam reach with the screecher up, easily outpacing some 30ft keelboats also headed for Alaya Cove, at Angel Island State Park

We drove up from Sunnyvale to Sausalito, about 70 min with no traffic, and launched at the Clipper Cove ramp about 1100.  As usual, there was no wind for the first mile or so, then it picked up and we were off!

The wind failed completely in the afternoon, making for a long row home.
