The Tribune photo, dated December 2, 1968, has the following caption on the back: "Sunday dawned to drizzle, broken by occasional flashes of sun and a cold wind that swept over Oakland's Lake Merritt, to the delight of those hardy sailors competing in races on the sparkling water." Three small El Toro class small sailboats, which fly only a mainsail, are silhouetted against the trees and shoreline of Lake Merritt.
