USA 2007: Sailing the San Francisco Bay and Hiking in the Golden Gate Hills

Thursday, March 8th
J and myself jumped on a sail-boat that's sitting in the port of Sausalito. After a few hints on how to handle being on a boat and managing all the different ropes we took off: first motor only to get us out in the wind and then with sails. pure fun and very addictive. especially with a unique scenery like the san francisco bay, the golden gate bridge, angel island and alcatraz. we spent the whole afternoon on the water and in the sun. we put on my ipod with fm transmission to the boats radio receiver and rocked out. fantastic day. after the sailing trip we picked up a couple bags of shrimp + salad and had another great dinner at the mill valley hills house.

Got up at 10am, checked emails, uploaded pictures. Then went for a little walk to downtown mill valley's plaza, got a cup of coffee and a chocolate croissant. took some pics on the way - as usual... when i came back to the house m. arrived and the three of us went on a very cool hike in the hills that are above the golden gate. check the pictures on flickr to see what i'm writing about. in the evening we partied first at the house, then at joe's taco lounge, then at the 2am bar, then at the house.
