Happy (and Safe) 4th!

Independence Day is one of the most popular sailing days on San Francisco Bay — hundreds of boaters take their family and friends for a great daysail in the Slot followed by a quiet picnic behind Angel Island. We can’t think of a better way to celebrate our country’s birthday but want to remind everyone to make sure your boat complies with Coast Guard safety requirements (registration, lifejackets, flares, etc.) — nothing spoils a day faster than getting a ticket. Well, one thing does: getting arrested for BUI. Play it safe and let the beers chill till you’re safely anchored or at the dock. Then crank some Jimmy Buffett and celebrate your independence!
