Its only for seal lions and penguins ;-) There's a reason they put Alcatraz where it is and escapees didn't swim ashore... except maybe Clint Eastwood! A nice selection especially the Sausalito boats. Both Sausalito and SF were a pleasure to visit when we attended the BALUG festivities a little while ago. Thanks for sharing these ones."

BTW, your excellent shot of the tall ship under the GG Bridge reminds me. I saw some shots of the Blue Angels flying UNDER the bridge and very low over the Bay. In fact I could see the the jet exhaust disturbing the water. Was that real or Photoshopped? Jerry Lehrer" Thanks to everyone for commenting! Jerry, during Fleet Week I have not personally been close enough to the GG Bridge to see the Blue Angels over or under it; are you referring to these pictures: http://home.comcast.net/~bzee1a/ ? AFAIK the FAA normally prohibits fixed wing aircraft flying under the bridge; rotary a/c are allowed. Oliver
