General Jack joined the crew for a late afternoon cruise on stiff southwest winds and sunny skies. Underway at 3:25 p.m. We headed out on main and working jib but quickly downscoped to single sail through some foredeck acrobatics by the Gold Captain. An exhilaratin' 1 1/2 hour tour d' Willoughby followed with the bay all to ourselves (no one else crazy enough). Interception by CG rocket boat asking about a capsize near bridge resulted in some tossed vino. RTB witnessed the two Captains in a dockside line handling tug of war drill - the superb teamwork never stops. Records set for most senior sailor in two categories!
