Sailing on USA AC 76 under the Golden Gate Bridge.
So many people have asked why did you not go with a bigger boat. The answer always comes back to money. We want to do some traveling and as a teacher and civil servant, we have a limited budget. Last week we got the chance to do some of that traveling. We went out to San Fransisco, California rented an RV and drove 850 miles in a week. We visited the Redwoods and Sequoias, Monterey Bay Aquarium and Sonoma for a little wine tasting. To finish up the week BB and Myles took to the San Fransisco Bay for some whale watching and I got the opportunity to ride along on USA AC-76 <click through to the link if you are in San Fran. The trip is totally worth it. 76 is the hull number for this American Cup Class Racing Yacht . It measures in at 86 feet in length with a 12-foot beam and a 14 ft draft. The boat has been outfitted for day charters so there are some stanchions and safety features added along with a motor. However, I'm told they still race it occasionally.
