Sailed with the club again! Due to low tides, lessons were only 1.5 hours before the sun started to set, bounding things on that end. Wound up with just one student, a Korean exchange student, studying at UC Berkeley. He was a very good student. He got a 1.5 hour lesson. Someone had a black puppy that looked like it had some lab in it and then maybe some Saint Bernard or something big. Or maybe just mutant lab. He was a slobbery happy lovebug. CSC often delivers on dogs. Made it back to Amtrak five minutes before a return train, without any planning, which is good because they're every hour except for sometimes two hours apart except once during the day three hours apart. I changed out of my wetsuit in the train bathroom. Also confirmed what I learned on the previous visit, that Amtrak commuter light rail tickets, which you obstinately buy for a specific time, are good for any time or day. I forgot what I was told but I was told they're good for something like maybe 90 days. The round trip ticket I didn't use Sat I used today. I think there's a punchcard type thing too where they scan the same code over and over and the credit card tap-to-pay thing they were doing closed beta of before is now open. Responded to messages on work tickets and did a few minor tasks on the to and from. No rain today. Not sunny either but I'll take it.

Edit: Water in the bay is currently colder than in the delta. Had a pre-sail swim and struggled to breathe but went to the windline at the edge of the novice area and back.
