Nels Leads Our Group – 164 viewsEach of us was assigned a part of the trip to "lead" each day. Here, Nels assumes the leadership role, with Alcatraz, the Oakland Bay Bridge, and the San Francisco skyline as a backdrop.

Assembling Near the Marker – 160 viewsWe practice what we've learned in class. There was a ferry headed our way.

Mike Brown Leads His Group – 160 viewsOn our way across, the second Four Star group meets up with us. That's Mike Brown there in the technicolor hard hat.

Planning the Ferry Angle to Angel – 176 viewsMike's group gathers just behind the point and studies the water. Understanding what's going on with the currents here is critical to navigating these waters.

Jen Entertains the Troops – 196 viewsJust because we have to study, doesn't mean we can't have any fun!

Approaching the Beach at Angel Island – 166 viewsBoth groups reach their goal. One of the many good things about these classes was that we practiced what we'd discussed in class or prior to the paddle, then got immediate feed back after each leg of the trip.

Last View of the Race – 201 viewsIt was a little choppy. The tidal race here at Yellow Bluff reminded Chris and me of an amplified version of the Crazy Water outside Channel Islands Harbor back home.
