Fog

In case you ever wondered what it is like to sail in a fog bank in the San Francisco Bay. It felt a lot like Pirates of the Caribbean only the wind surfers and shipping channel traffic fog horns made the scene even more surreal. Visibility was about 100 feet. First time I had sailed by sense of smell. Word of advice; if you hear a fog horn in the bay area; turn away from it, its bigger than you are.

Meadowood Estates - Napa Valley

4th of July weekend was spent lounging by the Meadowood Estate pool in Napa. Danielle and I were spoiled with Four Seasons service in this golf cart gem in St. Helena. We are not surprised at all they are 2 Michelin Stars rated. Our 8 course chef’s menu meal took three hours to enjoy. I highly recommend the Rockfort & Cherry Port Reduction combination.

We were extremely fortunate to be invited to stay here as a gift from Danielle’s clients Stan and Julia. We could have not picked a better weekend, everything was exceptional.
