The scenic route
Take the ferry to your session.
Board in Sausalito
The ferry crosses the bay to the SF Ferry Building in about 30 minutes. Bring your notes; the ride doubles as prep time.
Walk the waterfront
The Embarcadero runs 15 minutes north from the Ferry Building to Francisco St, flat the whole way. Or ride the F streetcar to the Greenwich St stop, 4 minutes from the studio.
Record with your engineer
The set is lit, the mics are checked, and the teleprompter is loaded before you sit down. You talk; the engineer handles the rest.
Ferry home with your files
Raw 4K and separated audio go onto your drive before the return crossing.
Driving instead? Cross the Golden Gate Bridge, take Lombard St east, then Columbus Ave toward the waterfront: about 15 minutes total. Metered street parking on Francisco St and Battery St is easiest before 10am, with public garages along The Embarcadero and at the Levi's Plaza lots.
