This time my captain has decided to perform the necessary maintenance himself, with a little help from his family.<br />
<br />
We carefully sanded the poles before transporting them to a garage for spraying.<br />

As west-coasters do, today I attended my first <a href="http://strictlysailpacific.com/" target="_blank">Strictly Sail Pacific Boat Show</a>. It's the US west's largest all-sail boat show. The show is held annually each April (April 11-14 this year) in Oakland's Jack London Square, which is on the waterfront along the east-side of San Francisco Bay. We were pleased to find many of our boat system's west coast vendors.<div class="blogger-post-footer">Experiences living aboard sailing yacht Event Horizon.</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19366437.post-40889581925853850162013-01-25T15:25:00.000-05:002013-02-08T15:30:34.114-05:00Westpoint Harbor Winter<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

My holiday tradition of baking several types of cookies continued despite having to mix and bake on the boat (verses a friend's house). I did select easier recipes this year and spread the baking over 3-days. It was the hand mixing--me with a large wooden spoon--that proved to be the toughest part, but it was good physical therapy for my recently healed fractured wrist. The best part is next, sharing the calories with other people<div class="blogger-post-footer">Experiences living aboard sailing yacht Event Horizon.</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19366437.post-25325882280852321842012-11-22T21:43:00.000-05:002012-11-23T15:46:42.145-05:00Thanksgiving Sunset<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The August 21-26 event is designed to inform, thrill and engage everyone--not just sailors. Based on my viewing of Tuesday's practice, the event will keep its promise to impress with fast and furious racing, all easily viewed from San Francisco's northeast shoreline (Fort Mason to Crissy Field). For maximum fun, visit the event tents at Marina Green, or spring for a ticket to sit in center-stage bleacher seats.</span></div>

Event Horizon's crew is very happy and honored to be granted official live-aboard status at <a href="http://www.westpointharbor.com/" target="_blank">Westpoint Harbor Marina</a> in Redwood City!<br />

Westpoint Harbor is located in South San Francisco Bay, and surrounded by Greco Island to the north and east (part of the <a href="http://library.fws.gov/refuges/desanfran.pdf" target="_blank">San Francisco Bay Wildlife Refuge</a>), <a href="http://www.cargill.com/salt/" target="_blank">Cargill salt-farming</a> operations to the south, and <a href="http://www.pacificshores.com/" target="_blank">Pacific Shores</a> office park to the west.<br />

Unlike most of the world, California does not freely allow people to live on their boats. In fact, many marinas don't allow liveaboards and the facilities that offer residency generally have a long waiting list. Last year--before we committed to moving to CA--we paid a considerable sum just to get on an estimated 10-year waiting list, hoping the poor economy might help our position.<br />
<br />
Typically live-a-board status is limited to 10% of berths. And that number is split between the different sized boats. Upon visiting many popular CA live-aboard marinas, we were convinced the percentage was higher. Apparently these unofficial liveaboards are known as "sneak a-boards”, a situation tolerated by some dockmasters. Sneakaboards aren't all trying to dodge the surcharge for living aboard; they prefer a floating lifestyle.<br />
<br />
Word on the dock is that government marinas (common in CA) by law can only allow 10%, while private marinas can allow slightly more yet we have always been quoted the same percentage. The limited full-time status is due to the requirements for water and sewer as defined by California environmental laws. Overall, liveaboard status is strictly monitored and must be approved by the harbormaster.<br />
<br />
New to San Francisco Bay, S/V Event Horizon and crew are considered transients. Transient status, at our current <a href="http://www.westpointharbor.com/" target="_blank">marina</a>, will allow us to live afloat for the next 3-months.
