Walked through Chinatown again to go to the Maritime Museum with Oly an internet boatbuilding Friend from the PDRacer forum.
Saw two of my boats there that were built by kids from the less advantaged part of the city. Spoke to Seth (right, Oly is left) one of the teachers/organisers.
He was about to go out on the Alma a famous Scow Schooner cargo boat and several other old boats.
Lots of seals enjoy the wharves here.
Feluccas like this were used by Italian Fishermen before engines were common.
Then we drove through Some of the steep streets of san francisco before going via the Golden Gate bridge to Sausilito.
We saw a sign to a research institute that has a huge model of San Francisco bay.
Finally Oly dropped me back in Chinatown.
I had lunch of Pot-stickers (fried dumplings or Japanese Gyoza) which were delicious. Still second best to Mrs Chen’s in Adelaide, but very tasty still. I got a lucky fortune cookie.
Tomorrow I go boating and then catch the train to Portland in Oregon (overnight trip), where I will give a talk on Wednesday.
