Palomita spent three weeks in San Francisco after a five-day passage from the coast.8:42 The crew initially docked at South Beach Harbor before relocating to the Aquatic Park anchorage, which costs $10 per night and provides secure dinghy access behind a gated pier.0:35 During their stay, the crew explored city landmarks including Lombard Street, Fisherman's Wharf, the Painted Ladies, and the Palace of Fine Arts.1:52 They also traveled to the Berkeley Botanical Garden via the BART transit system and toured the historic ships at the Hyde Street Pier.2:20 While planning a departure for Half Moon Bay, the crew delayed their transit by six days to avoid a low-pressure system moving down the coast.8:03 They eventually departed for the 20-mile trip to Half Moon Bay with a forecast of 10 to 20 knots of wind.9:14 The Aquatic Park anchorage offers protected, low-cost access to the city center, though weather windows for coastal departures require monitoring for offshore low-pressure systems.
