Join Alameda sailmaker and sailing legend Kame Richards for a discussion of how tides and currents make San Francisco Bay a unique and enjoyable location to sail. We'll be asking questions like: Why are there tides? Why are there two tides a day? How come high tide does not happen at max flood and low tide does not happen at max ebb? What happens at Alcatraz? How does the Bay affect the waters?
