50+ boats launch just east of the Golden Gate Bridge. Paddle out 1 mile into the pacific ocean. Then turn around back under the Golden Gate, cross the San Francisco bay to finish in Berkeley, about a 12mile race.

With the wind at their back and the tide moving with them the racers are moving along!

It's interesting trying to get sharp shot's with the boat you are moving and the subject moving all in different directions.

And the best part for all us old folks... the winners were in the Master Class beating out all the youngsters.:clap Top 2 finishers did the race in 1 hour 22 minutes, only separated by 10 seconds.
