Ira (ee-ra) had some more amazing luck fishing, and caught a Sargo fish that was a fairly decent size. It ended up being some very tasty fish tacos for dinner that night!
After catching the fish, Ira (ee-ra) wasn't interested in filleting it, so I did that part. I had her at least take out the remains and throw them in the water to bring her into the process a bit. Maybe next time she'll do the filleting as well.
Off of Catalina Island at Sunset, we decided it was the perfect time to set a spinnaker. In calm wind and gentle seas, this is our big kite that we put up! We love this thing!

The Golden Gate can be a challenging gate to sail through. The wind accelerates and shifts sometimes wildly. We call these the gremlins. Thankfully we made it through without a wipeout, even with a gybe right under the bridge.
We sailed in the September 4th beercan race, and had a wonderful crew onboard, any one of which could have run the boat themselves. The result was a relaxing sail and a good result in the race! I think even on corrected time Wildcard would have beat us, bu...
Ira was taking photos from the back of a local powerboat for the finishers of the Pacific Cup (the fun race to Hawaii!) and got pooped as all heck by 15-20 ft swell. And that's not just any swell: it's middle of the pacific, nothing in it's way, huge, powe...
Ira took photos of the F18 Catamarans racing in the Americas Championship race this past week and got some awesome shots. These boats were exceedingly difficult to take awesome photos of because of how fast they are and how quickly they accelerate up to sp...
Ira just wrapped up photographing the F18 Americas Championship, and I drove for her one of the days. Those things haul ass!!! We were in a 18 ft. rib with a 90HP, and to get ahead of these things or do a ride-along with them involved some moderate butt-pu...
