The boaters may be leaving but our little finch neighbors remain.

Dock Walking
If you’re a boater, do you remember the days before you had a boat? I do. We knew we wanted to own a sailboat someday. We knew we wanted something we could live aboard and sail the world’s oceans. So like thousands of other dreamers, we spent our fair share of time dock walking. “Look, there’s a public marina!” back in the days before they were all gated and locked.
If someone were dock walking at Pete’s Harbor yesterday evening, this is what they’d have seen near Mahdee:

The view of the north docks–
The newly empty slip next to Mahdee–
Our cat, Beryl, on the foredeck wondering where everyone has been going of late–
Anchoring
The San Francisco Bay has so many really great places to anchor. One of the more interesting is Aquatic Park. This is a little anchorage adjacent the San Francisco Maritime Museum. Above is a picture of the sunrise over the museum taken from the anchorage last Sunday morning. It was a lovely scene: dew on everything, sun over the museum, early morning rowers. This just reminded me that life aboard a boat is good.
