Great Spots: Bonita Cove

In the time of the Corona virus, I have been lucky to be able to sneak away and get some fresh air and sunshine - to "shelter in place" in a nice place, as it were.

Little Cat Too in the Golden Gate Channel (essential for gentle exploration and pictures of the Mothership).

Bonita Cove is the last rest stop before you head out into the Gulf of the Farallones, a place of refuge when it is inclement "outside", or a beautiful destination in of itself.

The prevailing winds on the coast here are NE, so Bonita Cove is usually a place of refuge. In winter, there are periodic blows from the South, but by and large you will find an anchorage in most conditions.

On this day, the temperatures were Winterish but warm in the direct sun.

A great spot to take a row ashore at the old Life Boat Station, take some pics of a cute boat at anchor, or read a book.
