San Francisco. The City by the Bay. Where I left my heart. It is all those things and more. We had a wonderful trip here from Bodega Bay and, miracle of miracles, we arrived exactly when we thought we would! There were quite a few sailboats outside the Golden Gate...looked a bit like a race but maybe they were just our Welcoming Committee. We only had 3 ships to deal with coming down the shipping channel (one of which was truly gigantic) so that was a relief. We are happily docked in a marina called Emery Cove in Emeryville (at the north end of the Bay Bridge) and it is lovely here. The "neighborhood" is mostly high end condos and offices and just a short walk down a beautiful path by the water is shopping and all the services one needs or wants. Everyone here is very friendly (we've already been invited to a dock party at 4:00 today) and there are quite a few "Baja Ha Ha" boats here. George & Sue, from Tomahawk, are the next dock over from us. Today we're just hanging out, enjoying the perfect weather (sunny & 75...and predicted to continue for the entire week). Tomorrow I suppose we'll be back at the projects, but for now it is nice to be able to just relax, meet new people and not have to think about leaving again!
