A Lot of Fleet Week Fog and Only a Little of the Blue Angels Air Show
OK, we know not everyone is stoked about Fleet Week’s air show, and their reasons are valid. We won’t go into all that right now, but we will say, for the people who don’t think the air show is a positive thing, that this year’s show was, by usual standards, a bit of a flop. Karl the Fog was in his element this weekend, wafting thick and heavy across the Bridge and along the San Francisco shoreline, and all the way across to the East Bay. As a result, Saturday’s Blue Angels show was a limited iteration of its full version, and Sunday’s show was canceled. Understandably so; doing what those pilots do would be hard enough without having to fly blindly through fog.
The good news is that one of our crew, Nicki Bennett, managed to sneak out of work on Friday to join Chris and Marissa Neely aboard their Cheoy Lee 41 Avocet and watch the show from the water.
