Oakland Bay and the Embarcadero (Tuesday, August 16, 2022)

We had to get on the water! We took the Oakland Bay ferry to the Embarcadero in San Francisco Bay. Bonus: parking at the Oakland Bay ferry was a lot more available than in downtown San Francisco. The U.S. Navy John Glenn, an expeditionary transfer dock ship, is moored behind me.

We weren't returning on the Oakland Bay ferry from a San Francisco Giants game or special event, and didn't want an alcoholic beverage. Still, there must be a history behind this very specific prohibition.
