Turning the Cosco Felixstowe

Judith and Michael invited us for a day of sailing on the San Francisco Bay on Sunday, May 26, 2013. Our trip took us about 16 total miles from Scrimshaw's slip to just East of Treasure Island where the wind convinced us to head back.

On the way back we were followed by container ship 'Cosco Felixstowe' and two Foss tugboats 'America' and 'Marshall.'

Michael knew that the ship would be turned at a specific spot in the channel so we tacked back and forth to watch from a safe distance.

With the ship headed back toward Asia we continued home tired and happy.

Many thanks to both Michael and Judith for a fine day.
