As usual, I'm running late.
The ferry leaves in only 20 minutes.
I've got a hustle.
Tour season is in full swing in San Francisco.
It's hard not to enjoy the energy, the sights, the people.
Then Barclay Garrow is really something you have to experience in person.
Hang on a sec.
It feels as if an overzealous video guy is trying to put me into a movie.
The ferry is a great way to avoid traffic.
I'm headed to the Sal Salido Arts Festival.
I hear it's supposed to be one of the best in the country.
Why not enjoy the water, the breeze, and the sun along the way?
I've always been an optimistic one.
Small Willow Grove, Sal Salido.
People that might want a respite from the packed city streets of San Francisco, they come here.
Ah, here we go.
Look at this, whimsical figures handmade from clay.
Is there anything better than strolling on a beautiful day, talking with artists, enjoying
their work?
260 artists have traveled from all over the world.
Every direction I look, there's something colorful, intriguing.
What have we got here?
I'm told for the first time in a hundred years a tall ship is being built in the Bay Area.
And this is to cover up the screw head so they don't rust.
Here, let me help.
There we go, am I hired?
Once completed, this 120-foot schooner will be operated by Call of the Sea and make a
wonderful educational facility for adults and children of mine.
It's metal, it's all in metal.
I'm back on the grounds, soaking in this marvelous creative energy.
The sun, the outdoors, I'm feeling kind of, hmmm.
Back at the ferry building, I could use an energy boost, and there can only be one place
for that.
Humphrey Slow Cone.
It's been a remarkable day at the Salcelillo Art Festival.
I wonder where my West Coast adventure will take me next.

Light in the window, light of the day, light of the fire so far away, reaching out in the darkness that no one is there.
