Finally Back Home

Just got back from the VHPA reunion.  Began my own research into an incident I've been having a hard time remembering.  Got lots of good info from my old buds that were there.  More on that later, but no promises

Here's those of us that showed up this time.  The 4th of July has always been a hard time to assemble the group. Here are 11 Potato Mashers.

I know what you are thinking; "How could we possibly have lost that war with such fine specimens  as these providing the arial support for our troops?"  Our response; "We were winning when we left."

But here are a few of the side trips we took.

The Muir woods looked like they belonged in the "Game of Thrones".

When I saw this burl I felt so guilty.  I really would love to see a 6" horizontal slice.

The Golden Gate from underneath.

 Same with the Bay Bridge.

The America's Cup trials were just starting

These guys have two hydrofoils on each hull.  When they get it trimmed out just right they are not heeled over very much but every bit of both hulls are out of the water.  They out run the chase boats when they get it just right.

Going to go.  Still plan to post some photos of the week before just wanted to get this off for my old stickmates.  Thanks Guys, you are the best!

Weather still perfect here; headed for Alaska this Thursday where I hear it is not.
