Muir woods & Sailing in the bay

Just very quickly a few photos from the absolute highlight of my stay in San Fran. That day I met up with friends who live on the north side of the bay. In the morning Dana brought me to see Muir Woods a park with giant redwood trees. In the afternoon she and Robert took my on a sailing trip in the bay.

With my fascination for trees - this was the place to be.

The redwoods are enormous and it is remarkable that an area like this still exists so close to the city.

Me and the tree.

Sailing from Sausalito with course to the city..

Past the Golden Gate Bridge.

Sailing away from the city towards Alcatraz.

The prison island and the bridge on the way back.

I think the photos speak for themselves: Beautiful scenery, nice people, awesome weather and enough wind - in short it was a wonderful day...
