Saturday, great weather and show went on without a hitch. Unfortunately, I could not go out until Sunday. Still forecast was for continued good weather (mid 70s, mostly clear, wind 5 to 10 kts)
The planned air show is from 1 to 3, with the Blue Angels, the final act starting around 3. Got the boat all loaded with guests and headed out into the Bay for the show. From 1 to 2, weather is holding and the CA Snowbirds put on a good show along with a couple other acts. Then, at 2, we notice fog approaching the Golden Gate Bridge.
We are hopeful, that show organizers will move up the Blue Angels to make sure their act does not get cancelled. But no, they continue with agenda and 3 acts take place between 2 and 3. A solo F-18, nice, but not the Blue Angels. Then Fat Albert C130, then a prop Stunt pilot. And, you guessed it, fog moved in, not at all dense, but clearly enough that Blue Angels were probably not going to fly. They teased with a couple formation flyovers, but that was it.
I don't understand why they could not change the order. There were 300,000 people clearly dissappointed including my boat load.
Forgot to add that by 5 or so, fog had completely retreated and sky was clear.
