Saturday, Madeline Crow led the DC-SERC Quadstravaganza through howling winds and bumpy waves, onto the ergs (wild relay competition on the ergs!) and on home... Congratulations, all!

ok, knot time! animatedknots.com/bowline-knot

CAThayer, Eppleton Hall, Balclutha and their moorings have left Hyde Street Pier and gone to Mare Island. Eureka is next. Alma still here, as are the smaller boats; Pier is closed for its renovation. nps.gov/safr/learn/his… tells their stories.

VIKING: thing of beauty. Originally designed and built by two SF Cable Car carpenters, 1916ish, given to the Dolphin Club in the mid-1930's. restored in 1984 by Jeremy Fisher-Smith in Davenport, CA, it's a Club favorite.

Need a challenge? Oceans 7... English Channel (20.5 miles) , Catalina Channel (20 m), Strait of Gibraltar - (9 m) ,North Channel - (21.4 m- Ireland- Scotland), Kaiwi Channel  (26 m- Molokai -Oahu), Cook Strait - (14 miles New Zealand) ,Tsugaru Strait - (12.1 miles Japan)

@DolphinClubSF newest boat is a Swift coastal double, JIM STORM, a companion to LiteBoat double TEMPEST. So sturdy on the Bay!

Could not be more excited to host Virginia and Syracuse this weekend! Preview of the scheduled races April 12-13 against our ACC foes ➡️ tinyurl.com/yk6snv35 #GoStanford

Tuesday is Boat Shop time! Today, 4-8 pm. Next Tuesday 10-1 then lunch, times rotate. All arewelcome. We moved Cecco back out on the floor, out of the shop, moved Lifthrasir in, with help from 4 swimmers (thanks guys), and turned Semper Fi to work on hull. Plenty of projects!

What do you know about the Wieland? A 40 foot, six sweep oared sliding seat lapstrake barge, donated in 1887 by club founder John Wieland's family, and rebuilt 1991-1997, we row and race this beauty on SF Bay.

ST PATRICK's DAY HANDBALL THIS WEEKEND... Gotta say, plenty of Dolphins playing, some winning their first match (I lost mine... but it's double elimination so back for more Saturday!), everybody enjoying. Come by!

Almost Spring... which means Polar Bear coming to an end (40 miles for most, 20 for some, 50 to celebrate 50th anniversary for some, 60 for at least one...). First day of Spring is Walt Stack Run/Walk challenge (famous for "start slow...and taper off" amongst other things),

A beautiful, clear, crisp morning to swim from Alcatraz to the @DolphinClubSF . Congratulations to my fellow swimmers and thank you to all the swim pilots and volunteers! 2025 Let's Go!
