Blue Across The Bay

Sunday, the weather was glorious and the skies azure blue.

Instead of riding the BART tunnels back to the peninsula, I hopped the Oakland/SF ferry.









Part of Bay lore. The enormous container cranes at the Port of Oakland is said to have given George Lucas, who used to commute past them daily, the idea for the large walking machines in "The Empire Strikes Back".



















Since this ferry is a Catamaran, we were flyin'.























There was a Blessing of the Fleet or somesuch goin on, but I doubt thats why there were so many sailboats out on the Bay.

The blessed absence of fog and cold might have had something to do wid it.























I gotta get me a bicycle.











A nice ride indeed.
