Sailing around the Bay
The novelty of taking a boat under the Golden Gate Bridge has always appealed to me, but I’ve never had a reason to do it until Stephanie’s mom came to visit. I figured we’d just take one of the ferries that tour the Bay, but I checked to see if anything else was available and stumbled upon Adventure Cat, a sailing catamaran tour. What a great idea. It was less crowded, slightly longer (in duration), quieter, narration-free, and diesel-exhaust-free. It also helped that we chose an absolutely perfect day (last Saturday) to go out. Here are some pictures from the trip.
