San Francisco, Here I come!

         San Francisco and NYC are not that far away from England!

                                      I miss my kids;(

 

                                Ok, lets go visit them;) 

                              Off to SFO to find Gus!

Gus’s Office building

The weather was chilly but sunny, great to see Gus and Huck. We had a grand time walking  Ocean Beach, just west of Gus’s apartment on the Pacific. Huck was thrilled, loves chasing his ball. He could stay at the beach all day.

Gus has a great apartment over a Korean BBQ. Nic came into town to join us for all you can eat BBQ. Way cool, charcoal pit in the middle of the table and they just kept bringing you food. We had no idea what we were eating, we just keep BBQing. Lucky Gus and Nick were there, so much food. Delicious. 

We took off for Clearlake for the weekend.  Racing Capri 24’s. What fun, I was so excited. We stayed at an Air B&B on the lake and in the morning we had Bass boats fishing literally right outside out window. 

Spent the day drifting around Clearlake. Managed to get 2 races in and I got to drive, Sweet! Lost the first one spectacularly, and won the second one spectacularly with a brilliant port tack start, took the whole fleet down,(5 boats) :)

 Headed up to Petaluma for dinner with the whole family. Ate at an Italian Restaurant,  family style. Great to see everyone. Ania was in rare form,  can not get babies off her brain. Love you Ania.  Will have to send her my painting of the nursery. Star Nursery.

Gus and I went to a Giants game. The stadium was awesome, what a view of the bay. They lost but the view was well worth it. 

Manage to fit in a little work and visited Berkley Lab. Got to see a couple of my favourites,   Phat and Rhonda, the wirebonders.

Took in the Young Museum,  it had a special exhibit of Monet. My favourite. 

Beautiful day in SF
