Lightship race

As many of you have read here and elsewhere, we lost two San Francisco sailors during last weekend's Lightship Race. There has been a lot of discussion, of course, regarding what exactly happened, and how it could have been prevented. All we know is that there was no distress call, no EPIRB, nor anything else to signal the sinking of the vessel in waters known to be treacherous.

SAN FRANCISCO - Tragedy struck in the San Francisco Bay this weekend during the Doublehanded Lightship Race.
