| I'm about 1/8 through this. It's remarkable that I've spent my life wedged between 2 rivers and know as little as I do. |
Yesterday’s trip was somewhat less than a 3-hour tour aboard the Minnow. The boat’s name was Delight, but I still enjoyed filling the general Gilligan role. The role of Ginger was played by the Skipper’s ex, a trio of children variously took the part of Mary Anne, I suppose the ex’s employer would have to have been the Howells, and several employees more or less covered the Professor. Yeah, that was a stretch. Especially since the torrential downpour held off until we’d been safely back to shore for a couple hours.
This ride was arranged by the aforementioned ex, as a day's entertainment for her company, and the boat belongs to a friend of Allen's--the guy who launches his crab boat from Cypress Marine, then steams and sells them from his truck on site.

| From the Delight, looking back toward the Marina. I'd gotten a quick tutorial on which lines to undo, and in what order before we set sail. |
 |
| There were some pretty darn cute kids aboard. These two had a few things to tell me about Dora and Diego. |
 |
| It's worth noting that when the water got choppy, whoever was driving got dripped on by water that had pooled in this fixture. |
 |
| Captain Allen gives the very cute inquisitive kid a landmark to aim for, while occasionally grabbing the wheel to compensate for the kid's tendency to turn it 180ยบ when a subtle directional adjustment was called for. |

No kid, you don't get to drive us under the Bay Bridge and turn around. I do. I pretend to know what I'm doing by driving and shooting pictures at the same time.

| Under the Bridge is a nice point of view, and no one takes $6 from you, or reads your EZ-Pass transponder. |
