[C320-list] Advice re Sailing in San Francisco

[Annie Bennett]

Thanks very much for the tips Ken.  It's always good to advice from a local rather than just the travel brochures.

Best wishes
Annie

Also highly recommended if you like to hike is a trip to Angel Island (a state park) which has spectacular views all around. If you want to charter a sailboat for a day, I recommend Modern Sailing in Sausalito. They have several Catalinas in their fleet (but not a 320). You will be staying in a part of town that local residents tend to avoid. It is highly recommended that you eat in restaurants away from that area.

We're going to be staying at The Arganout Hotel at Fisherman's Wharf and I wondered if anyone had any recommendations on boat trips, sailing or other must see things to do there.  We gather the Boudin Bakery is really interesting and I like making own bread so I'll enjoy that.
