Day watching boats and planes.
Took wife and picnic to Treasure Island, the old navy base that is now a San
Francisco Boondoggle, and set up to watch the air show and the Blue Angels yesterday. Beautiful day on the bay, light winds and about 73 degrees. Used to take the boat, but have had two friends boats hit and run in the anchorage by Alcatraz, so now just take the chairs and watch from TI. Of those 2 hit, one did not get the offender. The show was great, some Stunt biplanes and monowings, and the Blue Angels put on a great show as usual. Being on TI, is one of the landmarks they use and they fly low over it. TI is part of Yerba Buena Island, the island in the middle of the SF Bay Bridge. Couple of friends did take their boats and did some shark fishing before the show, for some nice action. A few smooth hound sharks, a couple of legal size leopard, etc. |

It's interesting, they control shipping in the bay there, I went there when the fog was in. |

I was friends with the son of the CG Commander at YBI. So got a nice tour. |
