Baker Beach Extravaganza

Spent my last day in San Francisco BBQing on Baker Beach. That's quite an illiteration.

Anyway, we observed an unbelievable amount of activity passing by: At least one large sea-lion, a body-surfing dog, some WWII vintage aircraft including a Japanese 'zero' that played dogfighting games with the others and repeatedly charged the beach evoking an immenent strafing... a coast guard craft that kept hurling sailors overboard to practice life saving.... a coast guard helicopter that darted perilously close to the Golden Gate Bridge ... one outbound cruise ship and 6 enormous inbound container ships...

We were waiting for some sky-diving Elvis', but that never happened.
