Looking back at San Francisco water sports

It's really been a looong time since I was last here! Not that I've been doing nothing: I've been busier than two dawgs in a dawg-haus! 

Of course in late 2010 workups to the upcoming America's Cup in SF Bay started with first Oracle's USA Team training in the bay alone on their AC45. Soon they were joined as the Artemis Racing teams, as they have two boats also, and it was nice finally in 2011 seeing four boats infrequently in the bay waters. By spring of 2011, there were several boats weekly sailing in the SF Bay waters with a good breeze to power their sleek boats. Here's a look at some of those boats in the breezy bay!!

All of these memories were recorded from shore. I was never able to get onto any boat for such images. I did ride a bay tour boat a few times to snap similar scenes!
