Sunset Sailboards San Francisco

They say home is where the heart is.  I'm a native SoCal transplant living in Northern California.  I moved up here in 1993 for school and have spent about half my life up here in NorCal.  People have suggested that I call San Francisco home and I adopt their sports teams and jump on the Giants bandwagon, but I'm from SoCal dammit... no way that's gonna happen.

Similarly, I think of Berkeley as my windsurfing home.  I live in SF now, and even though I am good 45 minutes away, and there are half a dozen closer and typically windier spots, Berkeley is where it all started for me, and I like to think of it as home.  It's typically not that windy, there's a big wind shadow at the launch, you have launch and land off of wooden docks, the wind often dies prematurely... one often wonders why I would pass up sailing at so many good spots in and around SF.  Against my better judgement, I often have the urge to make the drive anyway for some home cooking.

Here's a little video from a nice mellow fall day at the Berkeley Marina.
