One last stop before leaving

Horseshoe Bay
37 49.975 N, 122 28.500 W

After the tide came in and provided enough depth for us to safely leave we went to Horseshoe Bay, near the north side of the Golden Gate Bridge. It is also the site of one of the Coast Guard emplacements and the Presidio Yacht Club. It is a small bay but we were able to anchor and not impede the comings/goings of the Coast Guard including towing in a 15 foot runabout that lost power beneath the bridge in the shipping lanes (ie traffic central).

Rich and I moved the dingy from the davits to the foredeck, deflated it and secured it on deck for passage. We still had time to read and relax as we listed to Vessel Traffic Control.

Tomorrow morning we plan to get up early before the ebb and head out under the bridge bound for Half Moon Bay. We can hear the fog horns on the bridge but we hope it will be clear in the morning.

Anchors away.
