Geronimo under the Golden Gate bridge

Posted by pat 92 days ago

French navigator Olivier de Kersauson and his team arrived in San Francisco today, breaking whatever record they were trying to break (I'm not very interested in it very much), aboard their very nice ship Geronimo.

We went to watch them sail under the Golden Gate this evening: the kids loved it! They also loved to play with a bee that was resting on the path.

I got some nice shots of the ship. My favorite is quite symbolic: on the left coming in San Francisco, Kersauson, a french showman, whose main activity is telling jokes on TV or radio, or raising money to build nice boats to break arbitrary records; on the right, going out of San Francisco, container boat Hanjin goes back to China full of useful stuff.
