Three years ago some friends from work and I sailed to Angel Island for the original "Corporate Team Building Event on Angel Island" which included a walk to the summit of Mt Livermore (788 feet).
At the end of Summer, we set out again to replicate this amazing feat. We were braced for adventure, but winds were light and we had to motor all of the way to Ayala Cove.

From the Cove, we set out on our journey to the summit. The path was steep, however, and we changed out minds and walked around the island instead (about two hours). Next time we will summit twice to make up for it. Back at the cafe, we enjoyed a beer before heading back.

On the voyage home, we had a short sail across Raccoon Straight before the wind died, leaving us to motor all of the way back. This was in contrast to our previous adventure when we had to heroically beat home against a stiff northerly under shortened sail, and all got very wet. This trip was dry all the way, leaving just enough energy for a well-deserved burger and beer.
