| Good Times on Block Island! |
Morpheus was designed by Carl Schumacher, built by Davie Norris Boatbuilders in New Zealand and launched in 2002. She spent her first 18 months cruising the South Pacific before reaching her home port of San Francisco. Since that time, Morpheus has been raced and cruised extensively. This blog will document her ongoing adventures.

Will the whales have their revenge??
One morning in July 2006 (after the Pacific Cup race to Hawaii), Debbie, Chris, Pat and I left the island of Kauai onboard Morpheus bound for San Francisco 2,000 nautical miles away.
Later that day, just before Sunset, we ran smack into a whale that must have been sleeping near the surface. We were lucky, there was no damage (to the boat) and we didn't stick around long to figure out just how hurt and angry that whale was.
Two evenings later, we found ourselves surrounded by an amazing number of Pilot Whales. Honestly, the pod that we sailed through had to have had at least 100 whales in it. They seemed to find us very interesting and we were all afraid that perhaps they had come to even the score!!
Check out this video, it's amazing!!

RYC Spring Tune-Up
The Crew
The Boat
The Bouy!
The skippers and crew of 35 Richmond Yacht Club boats were greeted by perfect sailing conditions yesterday for the first race of our 2009 four race intra club series. Winds ranged from 0 to almost 20 knots and we think we saw every possible wind direction during the race.
Great time had by all!!
