Some of you might remember that I work just south of Half Moon Bay at a coastal radio station on cliffs overlooking the Pacific. Well the Lady Washington is cruising by going south about 3 or 4 miles off with all sail set in a very light breeze. Looks like something out of a movie. Pretty cool. I've been close to her in SFBay before, but this view is classic.

She's changed course a bit now just abeam of us and heading more SW and away. Took a couple of pix but they will just be a white dot in a sea of blue. Last time one of these sailing ships went by they were in closer. I think the Lady Washington was supposed to leave HMB yesterday, but it was blowing about 35knots so figger they were being careful and don't wanna break anything so took the weather window today with 5-15Knots predicted.
