Sailing Fearless on the San Francisco Bay

Sailing Fearless on the San Francisco Bay with Stephan Sowash. Gourmet food and great sailing with an experienced captain. Sailing from the Precidio Yacht Club gets you on the open water in minutes.

Sailing Fearless on the San Francisco Bay A couple of Mondays ago I had the great privilege of sailing on the sailboat "Fearless" skippered by Stephan Sowash.

What a fantastic day it ended up being. It started out extremely foggy and Stephan waited until it was safe to venture out from his Precidio Yacht Club berth and sail out at the north end of the Golden Gate Bridge. I had never sailed from there and what a treat it is to be out in the open water in a matter of minutes.

The first leg was to Angel Island where we stopped and he BBQ'd some lamb chops on his BBQ mounted on the back rail. Yummmm! He is know for having great food on his sailing charters and he did not disappoint. After lunch we headed out in the bay and ended up sailing under the Golden Gate Bridge and back to the harbor.

All in all, it was one of the best days I have ever had sailing and that is saying a lot! I have sailed on several different boats on the bay since 1981 and I really enjoyed Stephan's sailing knowledge and skill. His boat is rigged for hassle free and safe sailing and he definitely knows the trickiness of the bay's waters. He had a group of friends from the SF Opera and we had a blast. If you have never sailed or have and want a great charter boat then Stephan Sowash and Fearless should be your next sail.

You cannot compare the behavior of a wild animal versus a domesticated animal.

No offense, but keep drinking the kool-aid. I don't think all pit bulls are dangerous anymore thanRead More I think great white sharks will get every surfer, but God knows when they bite the person being bitten is in grave trouble!

Actually, Pit Bulls are one of the most well-behaved, well-trained dogs out there, to both theirRead More owners and their familes, if they are trained to be that way. Only drawback to Pits, though, is that they drool a lot, just like any other hunting dog out there. Back in 2009, there was a story in Berkeley about how a Pit Bull saved her owner's life in a house fire, and all anybody could see was that it was a Pit Bull and nothing more. If you train a dog to have a nice and sweet disposition, guess what, the dog will have a nice and sweet disposition. And if you train a dog to fight, maim and kill, guess what it's gonna do? Doesn't matter the breed. I've known Dachshunds who were mean and resorted to biting in an instant as I have known Pit Bulls who were nice--but slobbered a lot. And about the only reason that Pits have the reputation that they do out there is more to do with the viewpoint of the person who believes that all Pits are dangerous to begin with and that perhaps one of their other biases may be a work here, like they hate people whom they believe to be "trash" or "thugs" perhaps, but that's more an indication of their prejudice than their experience with these dogs or any other breed out there. I've known Springer Spaniels out there that started out as sweet dogs with nice dispositions, but as they aged and their brians atrophied into cancer, they turned into vicious dogs and had to be put down. Like people, dogs are individuals, too.
