Allora’s logbook records more than 30 sails in San Francisco Bay while we were getting Allora ready to go. The wind blows nearly every day and builds to a crescendo in the afternoon. Usually we reefed our mainsail and still struggled to keep her from being overpowered. There’s a lot of boat and ferry traffic, but its exciting sailing. Family and friends provided great excuses to get out, and Allora had lots of hands at the wheel.
