Sausalito? I envy you; that's one of my favorite places in the world! You don't live on that one house island do you?

My dad lives north of you in Santa Rosa.

No, I live on the hill though. I'm typing this and looking out the window at the Bay and the sailboats.
Used to live in Sonoma, your dad's neck of the woods.

A glass of nature's wine, a loaf of bread, and thou writes! Do you have a blue and green plaid flannel shirt and listen to aphc by any chance?

John Philipp Aug 25, 2007, 4:56pm EDT

I have a green chamois shirt and I have been known to listen to aphc on occasion unless you are referring to the American Plumbers and heating Contractors whom I try to avoid at all costs.

John, nice to meet you at last! Never been to your area, but my nephew is in Pleasonton and keeps begging me to come visit. He sails in your area as often as he can.

Ah Northern California, I have family out that way in the Sonoma valley. SF is one of my favorite places.

You are a classical enigma, John!

Kathryn, just sold my house in Sonoma last year. The Valley of the Moon. Beautiful country.

Brenda, I think the protector is for your shirt, not your pencil. What kind of geek are you?

Thanks, it's the Yacht Club at Sausalito where a whole bunch of wombats will be getting together in July.

John Philipp Feb 11, 2008, 6:34pm EST

NO! No limes. Been there before!

Actually, someone checked it out and, not kidding, the correct term is a wisdom of wombats.

Sausolito- I used to go there in the good old days when the mayor was a 'ho. I lived in the mountains above Los Gatos. You know what I miss most? The smell. California meadows on a hot day smell pitchy and piney and spicy and... well, there's nothing like it!

Of course, the glass is for medicinal use and the grin is for the lady that is about to put something in it.
Down the coast to your right, a group of drop outs was bulding a boat (lots of years ago) to take them to an island commune. Did it ever sail? I always thought it would be a real gas but I would be one of the few who worked while the rest just ran around naked. Sort of like where we're going now.

Rest easy

John Philipp Jul 31, 2009, 10:06am EDT

I don't know that story, Bill, so I can't answer your question.

One guy lived on a boat/platform he just anchored in the little Bay here and started converting the boat part into a replica of an 18th century ship captain's cabin. On the platform he added dirt and planted a tall palm tree.

Of course, even Sausalito has an establishment and after years of court wrangling they forced him to leave.

He towed his "island" over to San Francisco, tied it to the end of one of the big piers. The captain's cabin is finished and now and is one of the nicest restaurants in town.

Go figure.

Bill W. Jul 31, 2009, 10:59am EDT

Had to be a different deal. We had dinner at that place on the wharf. Very pricey!

The commune promoters were selling berths on their venture at a coffee shop up on your hill. Lots of wooden stairs. View out the back. Great coffee and bagels! Well before Starbucks. We need to go back there. Dim Sum at a place in Chinatown!! Last time was 9/11. Very memorable.
Isn't parking a bitch up on that hill?

Rest easy

John Philipp Jul 31, 2009, 11:08am EDT

Well, I'll ask around and see if I get some info on the commune promoters.

Parking is really no problem in Sausalito — if you know the ins and outs of the system.

I do and I'm willing to sell that information clean lucre.
