Afterwards we’ll continue north and cross the RSR Bridge and finally head back to Brickyard Cove. Some folks might want to join us at the SF ferry bldg at 10:30; some might want to start in Berkeley but only go as far as Treasure Island or SF. The attendance limit is for people who will take ferry or bus from TI to SF. any number can come to the SF ferry bldg by other means and join us for the rest of the ride Whatever, let’s enjoy the last Friday before Labor Day forces us to face the end of summer.
