Sailing Sausalito

Saturday Sailing Trip + Beautiful Weather + Hot Husband = BEST DATE EVER!

Our amazing date started in Sausalito where we had lunch on the water before we boarded our afternoon excursion on the bay. Gus’s parents gave us the sailing cruise as a Christmas present, and what an amazing gift it was! We embraced the opportunity to escape for the day and simply enjoy each other without interruption from our two little rambunctious rugrats.

The views were picturesque; it was a perfect, rarely-seen, clear day! We sailed from Sausalito to the bay by Belvedere and Tiburon, and we could see everything from the GG Bridge, Alcatraz, Coit Tower and even the Bay Bridge.

But as soon as we got out into the opens waters heading toward SF, things quickly went from this…



to this…

While Gus was literally clinging onto the mast to prevent a clean slip into the ocean, it was at this point that we realized why no one had joined us up front.

Between laughing hysterically and sliding back and forth while the boat was tacking, we lost a few items into the sea and spilled many contents of our beverages. All the while, Captain Clark managed to STAND UP (!) and take some photos of us. This guy was AMAZING.

After an amazing 3 hour tour of the bay, life-threatening fun and all (yes, I’m totally exaggerating unless you ask Gus about it), we capped the evening off with an amazing dinner in Tiburon and a drive around Belvedere. I’ve never been over to that side of the bay and once again, the views were some of the best I’ve ever seen of San Francisco:

May has been an amazing month for Gus and I; we’ve gotten to spend so much time together and go on more fantastic dates than we have in a long time. Gus Sr. and Gerry, thanks so much for spending the day with Bo and Ace and sending us on one the most romantic, exciting and gorgeous dates ever!
