4th of July in McCovey Cove

Long time no blog! I wanted to post some photos of our July 4th on the boat in McCovey Cove. What an incredible place... There's no other ballpark in the country that you can motor (or sail) your boat to and see a jumbo-tron screen and actually hear the roar of the crowd.



We had 10 people on the boat and, believe it or not, it didn't feel all that crowded. This basically reaffirms my belief that the 28' Uniflite Mega is one of the best boats in terms of layout for the price. The ladies took over the stern while the guys posted up on the bridge.



There were definitely some patriots out on the bay. In fact, this sailboat came into the cove and I've never seen a bigger American flag (especially hung on a mast) in my life! This was definitely one of the cooler things I've seen on the bay.



After the game we headed back to South Beach Harbor (where we were staying) and waited till dark to go watch the fireworks. It was the first time I've taken the boat out on the bay at night. Fortunately the weather was nice and the wind was cooperating with us.





Once night came we motored out to Pier 39 to watch the fireworks. Of course the San Francisco fog was there to greet us in the channel but that's to be expected.




All in all it was a great day. Everyone had a blast and although we could just barely see the fireworks with all the fog it was a very unique experience being out on the bay at night with hundreds of other boats watching. More boating to come!
