While we have slightly abandoned the idea of creating a full blown bucklet list for San Fran just yet, I have not forgotten about our unchecked list from 2010. In all fairness to Ryan, myself, and our efforts, we didn't have so much going on last year that prohibited us from diving head first into the challenge for seeing LA, SoCal, and nature-related excursions. 2011 is the year of babies, showers, rehearsals, and weddings. Come May, our road schedule heats up substantially as if we are some type of rock band or gypsie clan.
But every now and again, I take a peek at the ole 2010 bucket list to see what we can't explore or indulge in for a little date day/night. Sailing lessons has been on the top of the list since we jotted things down in January of last year. We looked into the option of trying them there (LA), way too expensive. Then we found an affordable option here (SF) back in September while looking for places to live, way too pressed for time. That brings us to now. So I decided to grab another couple, Rebecca & Mike, and make it a little surprise date day for Ryan.
We had a smashing day on the water yesterday. The sun came out to play and the wind was wild enough to get us sailing but mild enough to keep us cozy. We shared white wine, cheese, and crackers. Captain John Yelda became a newfound friend allowing us to yacht club hop from St. Francis Yacht Club to Golden Gate Yacht Club post sail. Each club came complete with a tour, a souvenir, and a taste of hospitality via bourbon/wine/snacks. We were fortunate enough to also meet a former Olympian, 87 year old Doug, who still sails daily. We loved visiting with him and hearing his stories. Quite the adventurous Sunday!
