It's late afternoon and the wind is till at an uncrowded cove just north of San Francisco in Marin County. The tide has ebbed and the weather is mild. Looking to the south, we see the city of San Francisco and the Bay Bridge.
In "Ebb Tide" sailors are enjoying a day off during the middle of the week. They've left the hustle and bustle of the city far behind and are headed out for a quiet cruise.
