April 27, 2025

Carl Nolte has been working at the San Francisco Chronicle for more than 60 years. He has a great sense of what has happened and how the pieces fit together. This article about Wind In Their Sails: Death and Resurrection puts the documentary into the bigger context of sailing on the Bay. There is plenty of history here with a few boats over 100 years old.
