Weekend Sailing on San Francisco Bay Was Looking Good

A sunny, mostly warm weekend brought out more sailors, and the waterfront took on some semblance of normalcy. The docks at Sam’s were looking busy, boats were plying Raccoon Strait, J/105s were practicing on the Cityfront, and Angel Island hosted boats both at anchor and on the docks. It’s not normal, but more people are figuring out how to enjoy more weekend time sailing.

Masks and social distancing are still part of the regimen. With those tools in the quiver, people are also returning to waterfront living. Last week we asked where people are cruising to dine along the waterfront these days. We got a ton of suggestions, ranging from Le Garage in Sausalito to Jack London Square. If you found one of your favorite places open this weekend email us here.

Summer weekends are here. Richmond Yacht Club held the Bay’s first official beer can race last Wednesday. Other sailors continue to explore what feels right to them as they get back aboard their boats on the Bay. We hope to see you out there.

    I was at Angel Island on Friday afternoon trying to take a mooring ball and the ranger told us we could not. They were closed.
