Sunset Cruise

Last night five senior missionary couples went on a sunset cruise. The Visitor Center in Oakland was closed for carpet cleaning and it was preparation day for Tom and me; so we all were free to go. We left from Pier 43 1/2 in San Francisco harbor and sailed by notorious Alcatraz Island, around Angel Island State Park, passed Tiburon and Sausilito, under the Golden Gate Bridge and back to San Francisco. We left at 7:00PM in the daylight and returned at 9:00PM in the dark. In between we were able to see the sunset and the city light up for the evening. The cruise included a light dinner and live guitar music. Yesterday was cloudy and cool so I was concerned about how cold it would be on the water. Actually it turned out wonderful... there were only about 50 people on the cruise whereas the boat could accomodate 600 and the outside evening air was comfortable. All in all, it was  a fun outing.
