Baghdad by the Bay

We really fell under San Francisco's spell today. The sun was out, the wind was in the high teens instead of the low 20s, the temperature was in the 70s, and we had a great sail right past Alcatraz, under the Bay Bridge, and then back out to the San Francisco Marina where we are spending the next few nights. After dinner, we rode our bikes along the waterfront toward the Golden Gate. The entire coastline is accessible to the public, and there is provision for every type of recreation -- biking, hiking, picnicking, swimming, sailing, sailboarding, kiteboarding, fishing, etc. etc.

On our way back to the boat, we stopped to enjoy a marvelous sunset.
