We could not find a bus, so we walked all the way to the very interesting Bay Model to check it out. The adult in the picture, behind all the kids, is Tessie Ester, who is to many the soul of Hunters View.Richmond/Bay8/11/2005 Margo BorsThis could also be titled freedom. I was doing habitat restoration on a beautiful cold day in January when I noticed this individual creating an image on an enormous sand canvas. Hope the entrance to the Bay counts as part of the Bay.Richmond/Bay1/19/2008 Mary DeShawChildren play at the water's edge by Aquatic Park, Fleet Week, Oct. 6, 2012.Richmond/Bay10/6/2012 Mary DeShawSailing the Bay on a misty day.Richmond/Bay10/14/2012 Mary DeShawSailboats skim the horizon south of the Bay BridgeBay/San Mateo10/14/2012 Peggy EdwardsMy son decided to pose for me up on the wall on a photography expedition to Fort Point, that is until I pointed out the sign!Richmond/Bay3/2/2013 Evelyn FluckigerPractice to waterstart in the bay is a lot easier than up hauling, but to learn you need a lot of wind and a big sailRichmond/BayClose family/relative8/15/2010 Evelyn FluckigerI am up and goingBay/San MateoClose family/relative8/15/2010 Evelyn FluckigerIt takes many hours in the water to learn how to windsurfBay/San MateoClose family/relative8/15/2010 Ivan ForcadaAfter riding with SF Bike Partyunknown4/5/2013 Ivan ForcadaAt the begining of SF Bike Partyunknown4/5/2013 Ivan ForcadaRiding with SF Bike Partyunknown4/5/2013 Kara GuzmanThe start of the men's open outrigger canoe race off Berkeley pier.

They sail primarily in the area between there and Emeryville, seen in the background. As they gain more experience through lessons and practice, they earn higher ratings and are allowed to sail further out on the Bay. This photograph is a composite of several photographs, but the density of action is similar to that observed on Saturdays and Sundays, when the Club holds open houses giving the public free rides and giving its members free windsurfing and sailing lessons. The Cal Sailing Club makes windsurfing and sailing available to anyone in the Bay Area at a very low cost.Richmond/Bay8/1/2009 Angie UlitinOnce a week, a few friends and I load up our kids and come to Crissy Field to enjoy the beautiful SF bay. SF is such a beautiful place and is so close to our home in Napa that we would be foolish if we didn't take time out of our busy lives to enjoy it!
