Visitors and locals, the Festival of Sail takes place July 23-27 on the SF waterfront. More than a dozen of the grandes dames of sailing ships will come under the golden gate bridge on 7-23. Ship tours, sailing and cannon battles on the bay. Info at (415) 307-1382.
Should be a fun weekend.

A phone number??? You must be one of them there "old guys" that never heard of the Web -- wait, you're ON the Web!!!
Taking the ferry to Sausalito at dusk on a clear night. . . The city lights are coming on, the stars are coming out, and the sun is setting behind the Golden Gate Bridge. (I know, I know, being on the Bay is not technically "in San Francisco", but close enough.
(Golden Gate Ferries also runs the Larkspur Ferry to/from Larkspur Landing. There you will find Marin Brewing Co., a brewpub with great food and decent beer. www.marinbrewing.com)
I happen to be a fourth generation San Franciscan, and yes! The ferry from Sausalito to the City at sunset, passing through banks of fog rolling in under the half exposed Golden Gate, that's a treat even we natives treasure. Although I suppose, like most natives, I'd rather you spent your holidays in Honolulu or Miami and left SF for us San Franciscans.
