[Pool and San Francisco city scenes]

Description: This 16mm home movie documents the May 29, 1965 “Floating House Boat Tour” held in both Sausalito Yacht Harbor (Richardson Bay, Gate 5) and at the St. Francis Yacht Club in San Francisco (not shown). It was organized by and for the benefit of the Spring Opera League (SF). Among the boats included in the movie are David Brooks' "New Moon" houseboat and the "Vallejo" owned by Bay Area artist Jean “Yanko” Varda, cousin of filmmaker Agnès Varda who made a film about him and his houseboat — Uncle Yanco (1967), and others. The only earlier other reference to an organized house boat tour in Sausalito during this unique period was in 1959, organized by the Service League. It also includes the interior of Jean Varda's and perhaps also David Brooks' boats. Ends with a quick image of the front doors of The Spinnaker Restaurant.
