Westpoint Harbor Winter

The harbor is getting full, including many new boats wintering in the mild Redwood City climate.

Shuttle Endeavour Flyover

Today Space Shuttle Endeavour made a historic (first and last) flyover in the San Francisco Bay Area. My home afloat, S/V Event Horizon, was on the flight path as Endeavour flew south from San Francisco along the East Bay towards Moffett Field and NASA Ames, where so much of the important space shuttle work was performed, before continuing on to its retirement home in Los Angeles. 

Endeavour, known as the baby shuttle, was the last one built. She flew 25 times, mostly to supply the International Space Station, and spent 299 days in space logging 123 million miles.

The shuttle, shown above as it flew over Westpoint Harbor this morning, was fixed atop a special Boeing 747 jet.

SF Bay Status Granted

Event Horizon's crew is very happy and honored to be granted official live-aboard status at Westpoint Harbor Marina in Redwood City!

Westpoint Harbor is located in South San Francisco Bay, and surrounded by Greco Island to the north and east (part of the San Francisco Bay Wildlife Refuge), Cargill salt-farming operations to the south, and Pacific Shores office park to the west.

Triathletes in Westpoint Harbor

It was an entertaining morning as we watched hundreds of triathletes swim past our boat. The swimmers finished their 500-meter swim at the guest dock and climbed ashore to proceed with the biking and running legs of the 8th Annual Stanford “Treeathlon”.
