Beneteau 31, Alameda February 18 2018 I have not been on the Bay sailing for several years (how could than happen?) and some things changed: Foremost San Francisco becomes a new huge building, towering over the entire city. This changes the skyline of San Francisco profoundly. Highest point is no longer the Transamerica Pyramid. For the 1st time I have also seen the new Bay Bridge without remnants of the old one. The old bridge is all gone, except for a few remaining pylons. Great day for a winter sail. Afternoon enough wind to set sails and have some action. Attraction on the bay was clearly the "Trump Chick" boat, which we spotted from afar. We did not knew at first what was that 'gold shine' on some boat cruising along Crissy Field... Apparently this was the humongous inflatable "Trump Chicken" dressed as "Prisoner 00045," transported to Alcatraz. Before we crossed the bay, that boat moved ahead of us, but we chased it along the entire waterfront of San Francisco. We got a good look at it when the boat started to cruise back and forth between Aquatic Park and Pier 39. Never a dull moment with our Donald. |
