The SF bay was incredible. A rare day on Sunday with lots of wind and zero
chop. It was even warm. Taught a two-day class starting on Saturday on my
boat. Sat. was devoted (mostly) to motoring/dock skills, then we did some
late-day sailing down the Richmond channel and back. At about 10:15 on
Sunday, the ebb brought us out of the marina, we practiced
tacking/jibing/reefing/de-reefing just outside the breakwater, then did some
COB practice. We tacked up Raccoon to Richardson Bay and anchored for a
short lunch. Just as we were anchoring, the Sheriff's boat zoomed by and
asked if we were the ones who called in about an injury. Nope, just
anchoring for lunch sir. Then they charged off to the next boat, looking
worried. We'd been monitoring 16, but I didn't hear a distress call. I'm
betting someone called on their cell.

After about a 1/2 hour near Cone Rock we picked up the hook and set sail
across the slot, tacking back and forth toward the Gate. The flood was on
us, and the wind and water moving in the same direction made for a flat
ride - nothing bigger than small ripples or a rolling, gentle wake from a
distant tanker, but the wind was up in the high teens/low 20s, rail in or
near the water. We watched some moron try to cross in front of a container
ship, get a huge blast, then he change his mind and tack away. Sheesh.

We got within 1/4 mile of the bridge, but it was getting to be 4pm, so we
turned downwind and went along the city front, edged over to Alcatraz, then
did a chicken jibe in over 20kts air and headed back across the slot toward
Angel. Some small chop finally appeared and we got some surfing in. COG was
around 7kts, with the speed through the water over 8.5. Not bad for a 30'
boat with a high-foot jib and number 1 reef on her. We crossed fairly close
behind Angel Island, watched one of the catamaran ferries rooster tail by,
then headed across the opening to Raccoon and along the Tiberon shore before
jibing back toward Richmond. Furled the jib, popped the main halyard inside
the marina, and we were back in the slip by the predicted 6pm.

Here are some pics from my iPhone. I'm hopeful someone else we send me
better ones.

Changed your mind, then, Jon-Boi the netKKKop?

Why did you take the time thinking to write the following e-mail to one Ron
Wilson:

"Ron,

"I'm taking you at your word that you know Neal (aka Wilbur). If so, I'm
hoping that you can help me. If not, I apologize in advance for the
intrusion, and I sincerely hope that you will keep this inquiry
confidential.

"Neal has been harassing and stalking me for years, including but not
limited to his Usenet postings. He's also gone way beyond Usenet with
telephone calls to my home - all hours and at one point involving my 12 year
old niece, to former employers, and friends - all gleaned from me be a
relatively public person (I post under Capt. JG, sailnow.com is my website).
There's a lot of background regarding his stalking... much of it because of
him not following his various ISP's terms of service during the execution of
his vendetta against me. (I haven't responded to his posts in quite a long
time, hoping that he would drop it, but he seems unable to do so.) I could
go on and on, but I'll spare you the gory details.

"In any case, I would very, very much like his contact information... phone
number, address, ISP he's using... whatever you have. I have two police
reports open, but his current posting agent under one of his pseudonyms is
unwilling to help (he posts under "Greg Hall" via alt.net). If I had contact
information, I would be able to forward (without involving you, I promise)
to the local police, who would then be willing to contact his local
authorities.

"If you'd prefer to speak to me, you can call me on my cell phone between 10
am and 10 pm Pacific Time.. 650-619-XXXX."

"Regards,
Jonathan"


Ha ha! Caught you netKKKopping again.

Just think, if you sailed more often that would have been just another day.
If you did it every day for a living it would be just another boring job.
Familiarity breeds contempt, so stick close to your keyboard and
occasionally go to sea.

HAY!

I know Ron Wilson. I bet he told old Gaynze to take a flying leap and to
take his dildo with him.

Norman




Ron was more clever than that. He told Gaynze some bullcrap about Cecil
Warren serving prison time in San Quentin and then had the Gay One off on a
goose chase checking out the records in Sacramento.

Here is that e-mail:

"Ron,

"I hope your family member is doing well. Cancer is definitely no fun, as I
know from personal family experience.

"I wanted to let you know that I'm going to follow up and see what
information I can find about this character locally. I'm somewhat close to
Sacramento, and I need to go there for other business in the next week, so
I'm going to stop by the court house and look him up on their microfiche.
They're public records.

"I don't know if you're the one who posted the anonymous stuff about him
from the Florida website, but it listed the conviction as taking place in
Sacramento, so I figure I might as well take a look. I'll let you know what
I find.

"If you get a chance, do forward whatever information you have about his
contact information. I will keep your name out of it. I have to do something
about him, as his attacks on me don't see to be stopping or even slowing,
even though he's been warned by various sources.

"Regards,
Jonathan"
