Away from the dock by 11:00, we set the sails with two reefs and head south. The wind is about 12-15 knots with occasional gusts. Mostly broad reaching the sail is more comfortable today. We sail past Hunters point, see planes landing and departing SF International airport. There are around six ships anchored out in the middle of the bay. One is off loading to a barge a loose dirt like material. We turn back toward Alameda. We were able to have a very nice relaxing 11 mile sail before once again turning on the motor. The plan is to stay at a marina in the Oakland inner harbor. There are four large cargo ships moored in the harbor in various stages of loading and unloading. When we get to where the marina should be, we do not see any marina that would warrant the 70 dollar a night fee. They all look run down, not safe. So Brad calls Emery Cove were we stayed the first night and made reservations to stay over the weekend.
