Sailed completely solo today for the first time while on my own boat. I’ve sailed alone before in the context of our sailing club races, but never on Sugarfoot, my 1938 San Francisco Bear Boat. Lots of fun, lots of learning. So many ideas on how to make single handing easier.

Proud to be a part of the pulmonary hypertension team at UCSF. Thanks @lekshmimd.bsky.social for giving us the opportunity to present at Medicine Grand Rounds. Celebrating our first BPA procedure by teaching the UCSF community about PH!

Hey @bsky.app I liked all the dog photos on my timeline but all I see are cats. What does a guy and his two dogs have to do to see more dog photos?
Not hating on cats everyone, just am quite allergic so my affinity is for pups.
