"Row for the River" flotilla in San Francisco Bay.

Status: Live River
By: David Kay
Date: September 21, 1974
Description:

Boats participating in the “Row for the River” publicity event, for Proposition 17.  Two dozen kayakers started at Camp Nine, ran down to the delta and across the north San Francisco bay, then met scores of rafts, kayaks, and other craft in Tiburon, for the final push across San Francisco Bay, to Aquatic Park, there to announce support for Proposition 17. The commercial oar boats shown here at the Corinthian Yacht Club, Tiburon, were rigged for competition by guides, including multiple rowers; it was a challenge to cross the dangerous span of water and not be swept to sea or deep into the Bay.  Great fun was had by all!
