SFBA End of Season Party - October 14
Join us on October 14th at the St. Francis Yacht Club for a killer end of season party. We will be celebrating the 20th Anniversay of the San Francisco Boardsailing Association and
racers will present the Cabrinha Kite & Windsurf Awards. The party runs from 7 pm to midnight with FREE admission, live music, and refreshments (come early). The music will be
retroactive rock and roll by Seventh Son. We hope you will take this opportunity to renew your SFBA membership or join up if youve never been a member.
Exploratorium Camera
You can finally get that sneak preview of Crissy Field and the Golden Gate as the Exploratorium camera has been back up and running now for a couple weeks now > go to http://cams.exploratorium.edu:8010/1/control.html or go to exploratorium.edu and click new roof cam. The resolution is great and the camera has a 25x zoom capability. Every 15 minutes, a series of preset pictures are added to the archive, so you can see a recent snapshot of the launch area or the sailing area even if someone else has control of the camera. You can also view a series of snapshots after the fact to see when the wind came up and when it dropped. The camera is now controlled by only one person at a time and you can tell when you are in control and how much time you have remaining. The beautiful thing is that with the 25x zoom and the ability to point the camera, you can really check out details. If you double click on a spot in the picture, the camera will recenter to that point. |
