FolkBoat sailing on San Francisco Bay

Dave Noce , local life time sailor, one of my first crew on my boat and I sailed his FolkBoat on Sunday.  We left Coyote Point at 11 with nice wind to the Bay Bridge, then coasted on the current until the edge of the slot.  Then as if racing, rounded Blossom Rock and then headed back South.  I think we saw 30 Knts or more doing the normal broad reach down the south bay.  Still had full main up so eased the main out like on a run, still lots of weather helm(my arm got sore from holding the tiller).  We made it back by 5, so it was good speed for a FolkBoat.
