On Friday, the Hajduczeks and I drove to Emeryville Marina to prepare the Olenka (Aleks' nickname) for sail to Angel Island. After some nautical education and some batting down of the hatches, we set sail and arrived at Angel Island around noon. (I even steered at one point.)
When we arrived at Angel Island, the Ellis Island of the West for Asian immigrants, we had lunch as a herd of deer grazed behind us. We also saw a gang of SegWay drivers cruising the docks. Best of all, we had fantastic views of Tiburon and Sausalito, which resembled the Greek isles, or so I thought. On the return trip the waves hit harder and we convinced Captain Hajduczek to turn on the motor. Back on land in the early evening, the sea-battered crew hit the nearest Trader Vic's for Mai-Tais and hot rum.
