H'mm, there was a real 'cruise ship' heading out of the bay while we were
passing
Alcatraz, but that was a modern slab-sided thing that looked like an
apartment
building that floats.

Yeah, that was the one I saw. BTW, can you go all the way up to Sacramento
by water? I was checking my AAA atlas last night and didnt realize how close
Sacramento was to SF.

Just so you know for next time,

Thanks for the info.

Right down the peninsula from San Francisco, at the San Carlos Airport.
FYI:

Wow, didnt realize how close it was.
