Hi CoSo. In my short time here, I really appreciate the positive vibes. It reminds me of the benefits I receive from being involved in Rotary International. I chartered a local club. In Rotary, we park a lot of potentially divisive things at the door (politics, religion, etc.) to focus on what we can accomplish together to improve the lives of others. It works. No one is perfect, just doing their best to live by the four way test.

Another photo of Tomales Bay, the inlet of the Pacific Ocean. Here, the San Andreas Fault runs between the Pacific Plate and North American Plate. You can view it on aerial maps. Earth is simply awesome!

I will now attempt to post a video from sailing on the San Francisco Bay. It was wonderfully joyous, albeit windy. You might want to turn down the volume if it sounds rough from my phone. I hope this works. I do not see a play button over the image.
