Yep, that's San Francisco on the left side of the photo.   But this is Sausalito on Richardson Bay, and believe it or not, during WW2 there was a very busy shipyard in operation here building "Liberty" cargo ships for the war effort.   My grandfather worked here at "Marinship" as a warehouse supervisor, as did Photowannabe Sue's father, who worked as a welder.

Ah yes, dinner time...   When you don't have a Safeway supermarket card you have to go out and round up your own grub.   Gotta be fast.

An Egret and the mysteriously named Killdeer.

I'd probably want to put a motor on this, but this Sausalito resident was out for a leisurely paddle around the many houseboats in the area.
