With harbors increasingly full of white fiberglass, you’ve got to love a red boat. I have a crush on the red SSS Viking and the high school age young women who participate in the San Francisco Sea Scouts. Here they are sailing toward Alcatraz on a flamboyantly colorful and blustery spring day. The Viking was built by the US Navy in 1938. Today’s home port is the Maritime National Historic Park in Aquatic Park, San Francisco.
