Tuesday May 8
While waiting for our weather window on Saturday we decided to head over to Ballena Bay Marina on Alameda Island for an overnight stay on Tuesday. The marina has been sold by Almar to a new owner which is replacing some the old decrepit docks with nice new ones.
We pulled in too the guest dock to the West of the fuel dock and where surprised to see a Krogen Whale Back docked at the guest docks also.
We took a hike out of the marina and then keeping along the Bay south of the marina to the Alameda Park along the bay. Nice hike to end of park
On way back went out to small point to see entrance the Ballena Bay looking out to bay to the east.
Wed-Friday May 9-10
Cruised over to San Francisco Small Boat Harbor Marina just inside the Golden Gate Bridge to spend Wed and Friday.
On Thursday we walked through the Marina Green East of the marina past Fort Mason and then around to the Safeway grocery before heading back to boat.
Friday morning we took Lyft ride from marina to Lands End near the Sutro Baths with the dogs and walked back along shore line to the Golden Gate Bridge back to the marina. This is one of our favorite hikes and is very beautiful.
Dog’s got to swim at Bakers Beach then again nearer the marina at Crissy Field Beach.
Saturday morning we got out at 7:00am bound for Bodega Bay for the first leg of trip up coast.
