How Much Is A Taxi From Richmond?
Today my friend and I went sailing at OCSC with my aunts usual crew (she is out of state at the moment, but was nice enough to hook me up with her crew so I was able to go out on the water at least once while I'm here!) We headed over to Berkeley early in the morning, loaded up the boat, and headed out! It was a gorgeous day, the bay was a lovely deep green and there were clear blue skies all day! After sailing for a while we docked in Richmond was lunch and went to the Boilerhouse, which was really good, and then toured the Rosie the Riveter Museum that is next door, which was really interesting. Somewhere between going into another room in the museum and coming back out our group disappeared! We wandered around the rest of the museum to look for the rest of our party, but after searching high and low we were still flummoxed! Where had they gone off to? So we decided to walk back to the boat to see if perhaps they were back there waiting for us, and if they weren't then we could just wait there and eventually we would all be reunited. Well as the boat appeared around the corner we thought we saw some movement on the boat and when we were a few yards away the boat suddenly detached from the dock and sailed away! Whether they were waiting for us and decided to pull away last minute as a joke or if it had been planned since the museum we didn't know, but fortunately they swung around again and did a drive-by pick up. After that the typical afternoon winds set it so the trip back was a bit choppy, but we reefed the main and made pretty good time, getting in by mid-afternoon. Now I'm enjoying house-sitting and watching the US ladies kill in gymnastics! And then tomorrow to the beach!
