Product Description

Cruising sailors around the world know that San Francisco Bay is an excellent cruising destination, but few know of the multitude of destinations available here. Within a few hours sail of each other are the often cool City Front and the often sunny Alameda Island, busy Sausalito and the sleepy Petaluma, accessible South Beach Harbor and remote China Camp. In this expanded and updated version of Cruising Guide to San Francisco Bay, sailors can learn where all the open anchorages and marinas in and around San Francisco Bay are, from as far south as Alviso to Suisun City to the north. This new edition also includes four new destinations outside the Bay: Drakes Bay, Tomales Bay, Bodega Harbor, and Pillar Point Harbor. For each of these destinations are detailed instructions on how to get there safely, where to anchor or tie up, and what to do there. Charts and photographs supplement the directions throughout. Even most long-time San Francisco Bay sailors will find something fresh in the comprehensive, revised edition of Cruising Guide to San Francisco Bay.
