RAVE - Fleet Week

If you like the sound of thundering engines overhead, watching the Fleet Week air show from the deck of a boat in San Francisco Bay is about the best way to experience it.

Our boat was a modest Red & White cruise charter, but at least it had a bar and food, and the weather was sunny enough for us to spend most of the three hours on deck enjoying the sight of seemingly thousands of other craft weaving their way around the Bay while various daredevil pilots did the same just above us.

Everything - from the aerobatic crop dusters, through the US Navy Blue Angels, to the United Airlines 747 coming in so low it looked like it was going to land on the Embarcadero - was a hoot.
