   Most Yacht clubs in the Bay Area like Potter sailors, they see us sailing
out in weather that is truly awful and we have their respect. Our burgee is
flying in clubs from Lake Tahoe to Monterey. As most people get older, they
keep buying bigger boats until their age and the boat size keeps them from
sailing. I have heard yacht club members say (We only sail downwind!). I have
a friend who belongs to the Oakland Yacht Club, and last year they got a
invitation to overnight at the St. Francis Yacht Club (BIG DEAL). The cost
was about $250.00, and they insisted your boat was washed and waxed. Your
fenders had to be cleaned also. I warned him that he would have a lousy time,
and I was right. While he was hobnobbing with the rich and famous, we were
sailing beautiful Tomales Bay .
