Eremit! Precisely ! On Friday last, out on SF's San PAblo Bay, it was absolute flat glass ; no wind; no current; and a high Cirrus cloud cover. Utterly becalmed...WE commented we'd never seen it like that before. A five-six mile visibility limit tops against the haze. We motored instead of sailed; it was so smooth we actually registered a hit on eight knots...can't do that under sail-7.5 knots heeled over on a GPS 'speedpuck' tops!
