You Probably Won't See Ernesto And Larry Racing Each Other In These Boats.

The boats above are Dunkpunts. You don't need wads of cash to build them. They're the antithesis of Americas Cups Yachts.

The Duckpunt: "Sailing so chilled, the sailors lay down."
Leave it to the Brits to come up with this low key and inexpensive way to sail.

Cheers to Dylan for this video. This could be another boat for Bonnie to consider.

Shawn, take a look at the chart. This is why waves wrap around the point into the cove at (almost) 90 degrees. It's a good place to surf (if you like big rocks, crazy swells, cranky surfers, playing with strong tides and currents....not me).

The chart also shows you why you don't want to sail between the south tower of the Golden Gate Bridge and Fort Point.

You remember Capt. Joe Schidmt. He learned how to surf the hard way.

To quote the Puffin, "Munchola!"
