Bay Tours
 A
4- to 6-hour Bay Tour is by far the best way spend the day.
Starting at South Beach Harbor mid-morning, we'll sail across
the Central Bay & either head between Alcatraz and Angel
Island or go through Raccoon Strait with Angel Island to
port and Old Town Tiburon to starboard. We'll then reach
across Richardson Bay to the Sausalito waterfront. Depending
on the itinerary, we may motorsail through Richardson Bay
to take advantage of the calmer waters and have some lunch.
If the current is in our favor, we can slip
past Horseshoe Cove & sail under the Gate to enjoy the
unspoiled scenery of the Marin Headlands.
Now we'll turn around &
sail downwind past the city front. Proper etiquette dictates
that we all wave and smile beatifically at the cold, wet
sailors pounding upwind past us.
This part of the Bay Tour affords one of the
great views of San Francisco. We'll sail past the Palace
of Fine Arts, Aquatic Park, Fisherman's Wharf, Pier 39 and
the Manhattan-like skyline of the Embarcadero.
At this point we may go over and get a close-up
view of Alcatraz, then back towards the Bay Bridge and an
easy, relatively warm sail back to South Beach.
