It was Fleet Week in San Francisco last week, so we took our trusty Boston Whaler out on the Bay to join the hoards of other boaters and sailors to check out the fleet and marvel at the air show. The weather could not have been nicer; the skies were a bit hazy from the day's acrobatic stunts in the air, but the temps were warm and the water relatively calm. Perfect conditions for an adventure on the bay. Come along for a ride on Tranquility Base...

So we headed toward the Bay Bridge...
And the fog disappeared...
That's the cool lighthouse on Yerba Buena Island...
And here's the LONGEST construction project ever....

Interesting and a great selection of photos. I've never went for fleet week. Also I think I'd get sea sick out on the boat.
Wow, gorgeous, Linnea. Too bad about the Blue Angels, but I'm glad the Snowbirds performed for you.
I once (long ago, early 1978, I think) saw the Blue Angels practicing near El Centro, California. That was great fun. I had been down to visit my parents at their winter home in Baja, and seeing the Blue Angels on my way back was a bonus!
