Shweta, Nathaniel, and I went to see the Michael Brecker Quartet perform at Yoshi's on Jack London Square. I'm not a jazz fanatic, but it was really good music. Oddly I remember the piano and drum players' stylings better than Brecker himself on the saxophone.

Went to the Cal Sailing Club's Saturday morning lessons. While waiting around for my turn in a boat, I helped the people in their boatyard repair damaged centerboard slots, mostly by moving boats around so they could be worked on conveniently. I was told I was going to get to put on a full dust-protection suit, crawl inside the hull, and grind down the damaged fiberglass, but the sailing instructor called me first.

The sailing itself was kind of an exercise in realizing how much I'd forgotten in the year since I was last in a boat. I used to be able to come about smoothly.

Now I'm thoroughly worn out—which probably has more to do with having bicycled down to the marina and back, about six miles round trip, than the sailing itself. It was totally worth it, though. I'm definitely going back next week.
