Annual Volunteer Picnic on Angel Island

On Friday the Spaulding Center held its annual volunteer appreciation picnic and barbecue at Ayala Cove on Angel Island in San Francisco Bay.  A flotilla of three sailboats—SWBC’s own Polaris and Pegasus wooden sloops and my 36′ sloop—ferried revelers from the Spaulding Wooden Boat Center in Sausalito to Ayala Cove and back to Sausalito at the end of the day.

The weather was perfect. A couple of us had spent the night before the picnic on my sailboat moored in the cove and it was foggy and cold the day and evening before the picnic. Fortuntately Friday dawned with less fog and it cleared up quickly, just in time for our party on the island.
