Dumb thing # 241

Annie and I are having a grand time living and exploring in San Francisco Bay since October. We have settled (sort of) since December at Alameda and even joined the local yacht club. This weekend was the first rendezvous at the point San Pablo Yacht Club. I checked the chart and found Point San Pablo and found the small marina around the corner for a destination. I never asked or researched where PSPYC was I just headed there. After grounding in the mud (thankfully with a rising tide) and 3 phone conversations with the cruise captain I finally realized I was in the wrong body of water and I headed to the correct location. I know that San Francisco Yacht Club is not in San Francisco and Oakland Yacht Club is in Alameda AND the NY Giants play in Jersey but I didn't think. Wounded pride and hopefully wisdom will be the long term lesson. Ton Evans SV Tappan Zee
