Sausalito by Land and Sea 2017
……………………………………………………………………………………….
The Sausalito day trip can be a blustery bike ride over the Golden Gate Bridge rewarded with an affogato at Cibo or a ferry ride that drops you near Poggio Trattorio, where you can sip a negroni and watch sail masts sway in the wind.At first glance, it seems like a tourist-driven bedroom community, but Sausalito’s true DNA is in boatbuilding, and it attracts salty residents who share a fierce love of boats and the sea. Venture a bit deeper and experience the grittier, vibrant pockets of the town’s true personality. This year is the 75th anniversary of Marinship, a World War II boat-building yard that transformed the region.
