PADDLERUK 76

Tiburon is a great destination from Sausalito being
just around the ‘corner.’ One would think they just
landed along the coast in Italy looking up at the
shore side hills covered in brightly painted villas.
Most travel over by kayak to eat at the many fine
restaurants and to enjoy the view back out onto
the bay with San Francisco and Angel Island in the
background, all laid out before you!
All in all, the San Francisco Bay has a little of
everything for everybody. Rich history, great eats,
poking along the waterfront at ones leisure, going out
on a windy day during a strong ebb and challenging
oneself to a fierce tide race, venturing into some sea
caves outside the gate for a thrill, or just taking a nice
relaxing sunset paddle in a calm back bay while
shooting photos of the many bird species.
It’s all here, including some of the most fantastic
night paddles. You have not lived, until you’ve been
out in the middle of the bay on a calm quiet night,
looking out thru the Golden Gate into the black
vastness of the Pacific with the orange lights of the
bridge above, then glancing towards SF and looking
at all the lights along the skyline and waterfront and
at the same time, hearing a porpoise surface
nearby in the dark to exhale and inhale. It’s truly
magic and nothing else compares. Come and give it
a try, you’ll be glad you did!
