False alarm, dogs don't smell any worse than usual. Must have been a cross eyed skunk... poor aim.

Typical foggy summer in San Francisco.

Can't see both towers on the bridge because of the fog. Was lucky to get the first pic because most of the time you couldn't see anything at all. It cleared briefly. We were up in the Marin headlands across the bridge from San Francisco.

Second pic is the city. Tops of the skyscrapers are hidden in the fog.

THE LONE SAILOR

THIS IS A MEMORIAL TO EVERYONE WHO EVER SAILED OUT OF THE GOLDEN GATE IN THE SERVICE OF THEIR COUNTRY - IN THE NAVY, THE MARINE CORPS, THE COAST GUARD, THE MERCHANT MARINE.

A SHIP HEADING FOR SEA PASSES DIRECTLY BY THIS SPOT AT THE NORTHERN END OF THE GOLDEN GATE. HERE THE SAILOR FEELS THE FIRST LONG ROLL OF THE SEA, THE BEGINNING OF THE ENDLESS HORIZON THAT LEADS TO THE FAR PACIFIC.

THERE IS ONE LAST CHANCE TO LOOK BACK AT THE CITY OF SAN FRANCISCO, SHINING ON ITS HILLS, ONE LAST CHANCE TO LOOK BACK AT THE COASTLINE OF THE UNITED STATES, ONE LAST CHANCE TO LOOK BACK AT HOME.

THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF AMERICAN SEAFARERS HAVE SAILED PAST THIS PLACE, IN PEACE AND WAR, TO DEFEND THIS COUNTRY AND ITS SEA FRONTIERS. MANY OF THEM NEVER RETURNED. THIS MONUMENT IS DEDICATED TO THE ORDINARY SAILORS AND MARINES WHO SAILED FROM THIS PLACE AND DID THEIR DUTY.
