A day on the bay

[sailortats]

I spent yesteday on board the SS Jeremiah O'Brien, a WWII Liberty ship, on San Francisco Bay. I am a volunteer crewmember of the O'Brien but spend yesterday as a guest, along with 800 other guests. We were supposed to escort the USS Iowa BB61 out of the bay on her way to her permanent home in southern California as a museum ship but due to severe weather conditions off the coast of southern Cal. she could not leave her dock here. She is being towed to southern Cal. as she has no power of her own any more.
I thought the cruise was a good enough reason to go kilted and so I did.
First pic is in the #2 hold of the O'Brien and the second pic is on the strbd side
aft. It doesn't show well but I am wearing a pale yellow sweater vest under the jacket and not a white one.
