my pix of the same position isn't as dramatic as your outstanding image!! looks like they were quite anxious to get the last wind to boost their travel home! were you at the ferry bldg? great shot!!!

I was slowly moving a cord of firewood, twice...that came from Artemis themselves..I bet they have a heater in that new rib of theirs...

i've moved a cord of firewood before! reminds me of NOT looking for a fireplace when i move to oregon!! hahahaaa i didn't see the copyright so thought.... a great image nonetheless! i don't know about a heater - hoping they have well-insulated gloves and other gear!

dat's a big thang to clean!!! does anyone know the answer to this? i got out to the pier and didn't see artemis 72. so i wait a bit and see a big sail that appeared to be like - VERY - close to shore in sausalito. the wind was blowing hard (ah wuz freezing with gloves) and they stayed motionless for at least 15-290mins. maybe less maybe longer - everything seems longer when you're frozen. then they started to slowly crawl toward the GGbridge. for a while i really thought they were going to moor there and boat back to their base. anyone have any thoughts on this? they eventually di a good run from close to the bridge toward pier39 where they disappeared - i was conversing with some ppl about AC and the 72, when after about 10 minutes artemis reappeared again. mind you it's like almost or just past 4pm. they did another run that took them to tacking very close to the westside of pier 45 (as seen from my location) then sail toward TI. this time when they disappeared past pier39, they were gone for good and it must have been about close to, or past 4,30pm.
