This small sail boat attempts to cut in front of a huge ferry.

A ride down through the DelMarVa Peninsula.

Well ... it's a short ride on a small ferry boat !

When I moved to San Diego, I was happy to see an old friend at the Maritime Museum. The “Berkeley” is an 1898 steam ferry that operated for 60 years on San Francisco Bay, and I vividly remember riding   more...on this ferry boat when I was a little kid growing up in the San Francisco area, so it was great to learn that the Berkeley still survives this half century later, and can now live out her life being visited by people who never got to experience a journey on such boats :) (For that matter, it’s great to learn that I’M still around this half century later! LOL) The funny thing is that, as a little kid, the seating benches looked HUGE, so when walking around the boat now as a 6’-1” tall baby boomer, the benches NOW look really SMALL!

The San Diego Maritime Museum has an interesting historical tidbit about the Berkeley. Since the Golden Gate and Bay Bridges didn’t yet exist across San Francisco Bay in 1906, during the massive earthquake and subsequent fire of that year, the Berkeley carried thousands of survivors to safety. Her captain and crew, not even knowing the fate of their OWN families, worked night and day to help victims escape the burning shores of San Francisco.

The song for the video is “(You Want To) Make A Memory” by Bon Jovi.  less

This looks so wonderful with the ferry, and the water.

James downstairs talking how boring the ferry ride was to Skagway. I was upstairs watching me and his stuff.

To be honest, this video clip is completely useless as far as video clips are concerned.
