Little San Francisco

We are anchored in San Francisquito. We had a nice sail today with wind starting off light and building in the afternoon. We started sailing at 2 knots and ended going over 7 knots with the spinnaker up all day. Lots of fun. We nearly caught a seabird when suddenly every bird within 10 miles decided that that our fishing lure looked very appetizing. It looked like a hundred birds were diving after the lure, one after another in a constant series of splashes. I had to pull in the lure, and was amazed
that I did not bring in a bird on it. It was amazing that that many birds would be interested in a single fish.
We are going to have a few friends over tonight for drinks and birthday cake. It is quite a coincidence, two days ago it was Michelle's birthday on Momo, Today is mine, and Tomorrow is Casey's on V'Ger. We will be eating a lot of cake.
