Boating:
An amazing event in October on the San Francisco Bay! Witness aerial demonstrations by the Navy's Blue Angels, Team Oracle, and the Air Force's F-16 Demonstration Team on land or on the water. The Navy's ships parade the bay, while every boat personal and corportate joins the event to make a bay extravaganza day. (watch out for the waqter balloons!) Serious Fun! Watch from Marin's bay towns, Sausalito or Tiburon, perhaps catch the ferry cruise! (see transportation link) You can even get tickets to view the action from Navy ships that sit docked at San Francisco! Join a friend on the bay, or watch from Chrissy Field, or anywhere along the waterfront. It is all good!
