Mare Island Views
I took some shots with two classic ships moored at Mare Island for several years while the docks in San Francisco are being repaired. I love looking at these, and I’m in awe that both of these are from the 19th century! Shea and I were in the area for a meeting he had, so I ventured out in the light rain to take in the view. We also did a pit stop near the Quarters Cafe and Godfather’s Winery.

While waiting to compete in the Coast Guard Island whaleboat race, I re-parked my car and checked out the area which is between Jack London Square and the Causeway to Coast Guard Island. These cute coffee shops and restaurants were not here when I was growing up.

Skipper Whipper Whaleboat Race 2025
We watched a large barge come right through the Skipper Whipper race in Napa River from the Vallejo Yacht Club yesterday. We were worried a member of our team would be caught when the drawbridge went up (and he was) but he still made it in time for the masters division.
Mixed team returning to Vallejo Yacht Club:
Men’s team first turn from the Vallejo Yacht Club perspective:
Shea took some great footage from the Mare Island side of the Men’s Team and the Masters Team that I was on. Solano Rowing Club’s Men’s and Mixed took first place and the Masters team took second place out of about 5-6 competitors in each race.

First Weekday Row of the Year
That’s one good thing about losing an hour of sleep for the time change.
No Wind Smokestacks
Rowing on glass today. You can see from the smokestacks of C&H Sugar factory in Crockett across the Carquinez Strait that there was no wind as they are going straight up.
