DAY 33 - OCT 4 - TUESDAY      We left our campground via rental car early with a full agenda for the day. The weather was perfect with clear skies and warm temperatures.      Our route into the area was through some back roads initially, with minimal traffic. We took Route 4 and made our way into the City of Richmond, north and east of San Francisco. We located the Richmond Fireboat Victory.      From Richmond, we crossed the bridge and made a visit to both Tiburon and Sausalito to see their fireboats.  The Spinnaker restaurant was recommended by some locals so we had a great lunch overlooking San Francisco on the shore of Sausalito.  After lunch, we went to the Golden Gate National Recreation area for spectacular views of the iconic Golden Gate Bridge.      Crossing the Golden Gate Bridge for some more pictures and then into the city to visit the San Francisco Fireboats. San Francisco has three fireboats, only two were at the station, but they included the famous Fireboat 1 "Phoenix" and the brand new "Fireboat 3" (one of the main goals of the trip) which was not yet in service. It was named the St Francis soon after our visit.      Our easy drive in was counterbalanced by the nightmare traffic jams as we headed out of San Francisco and back to our campground at Terminous. Our 1 hour in turned into about a 4 hour out ride. Oh well, we accomplished our goals and had a great day.     Night 33 back in the campground at Terminous, CA.
