St. Francis Yacht Club

Alcatraz

The wind in the San Francisco marina, in the St. Francis Yacht Club parking lot, was ferocious on this January day. If you look closely, I swear this gull was gripping the concrete wall for dear life. The upside of the wind was a crystal-clear view of the Rock. Even on a chilly, blustery day, walking the marina is a bracing and archetypal San Francisco experience.
