Earlier, I wrote about the tragedy of Low Speed Chase. A touching and beautiful memorial was held on Saturday on the water near the San Francisco Yacht Club.

Below is a brief capture I made at the memorial, as we passed by the bagpiper on Farallon.

I’ve compressed the video significantly (from 80MB) but left the audio alone. The buzzing in the background is from a helicopter flying overhead.

Update: A Sikorsky S-64 Skycrane helicopter left Half Moon Bay Airport and reached the Farallon Islands in 15 minutes, picked up the boat and returned. This was the last week to retrieve the boat before the Islands would be closed and protected as a bird sanctuary until October.
