Alex and Lorraine invited us and about 20 other friends to join them on their 40 foot sailing boat to cruise the SF Bay and be in prime position to view and photograph the 75th Anniversary celebration of the Golden Gate Bridge.

The weather was perfect. The clouds parted in the early afternoon, and we were greeted with unusually clear weather for sailing and fireworks viewing.  After a sail to the bridge and back in the afternoon, we had a BBQ on the boat.  In the evening, we went back out, and held the boat off of Crissy Field, where we could listen to the KFOG associated music from the park while watching the fireworks display.

Fireworks photography from a moving boat proved a challenge, but the afternoon was enjoyed by all.  Here are a few images from the adventure.
