I went out with my friend Peter, he lives in Berkeley with his wife and 2 young girls. We went for sturgeon and anchored off the Oakland Airport. No Sturgy, but we caught a bat ray and this croaker or kingfish. Had fun, and it was a little windy, but not too bad.
He told me this great story about his kid.
One of his kids goes to kindergarten in Berkeley. They were playing a game where one kid makes a face and the first kid to laugh is out. So the first kid pulls his eyes up and back and says "look I'm Chinese." Kids laugh of course. But the teacher says well maybe you shouldn't make that kind of face. He asks a Chinese girl in the class what does she think. She says well he shouldn't make the face because some kids might get mad. The teacher says that's right and why would they be mad?
Kid says "they'd be jealous because they aren't Chinese."
Great line!
It was about a perfect day to sail in the Oakland Estuary, good wind and lots of sun. The Oakland Yacht Club had a Sunday Brunch race, all seemed to have fun.
