This event was supposed to be extra special because we weren't technically in AT&T Park to watch this event.  We hauled our inflatable kayaks about half a mile before reaching the Official Boat Launch area for the derby.  Along with about 300 other vessels, we passed through coast guard control and got a special sticker.  We used our kayaks to float in McCovey Cove and try to catch some Home Run balls.  The cove was literally jammed pack and the atmosphere was great.  However, the Derby itself was somewhat boring and there were no actual Home Runs hit into the Cove. We decided to head back to land after the first round because all the left handed hitters had been eliminated (McCovey Covey is located behind right field) and make our way back to Natalie's apartment and get dinner.

We found a cool, little Japanese Restaurant where if you sit at the Sushi bar, they place the sushi you ordered on a boat in a little stream that takes the sushi to you. It was a good meal that capped off another long and fun day!
