Arrived San Francisco at 1500 hrs on Aug 21, 2012. It was pretty exciting to see the Golden Gate Bridge in the distance and a great feeling of accomplishment when we sailed underneath it. It was an overcast or smog filled afternoon. There were lots of sailboats in the Bay area and we were approached by coast guard boats gesturing and pointing and holding up STOP sign. A little intimidating to say the least. When we came to realize what was happening, the American Cup was on and we were in the wrong sailing lane!! OOPS. We moved over hastily and everyone was happy!
We did a video of going under the bridge and I will try to add it here. Not much of a techie person but still learning and enjoying the process!

We enjoyed three days and nights here and wished we could have stayed longer. We visited Pier 39 and took a double decker tour bus around downtown area. Also visited the infamous Haight and Ashbury street. Still a few hippies around but unfortunately we forgot our camera on this day :(
We tried to book a tour to Alcatraz but they were all booked for two months in advance.
