Tourist stand mesmerized as hundreds of skaters roll by like the wildebeast on Wild Kingdom. The scene is the same as the skaters roll past Fisherman's Wharf to Aquatic Park. The first uphill climb comes as skaters pass Muni Pier to Ft. After catching their breath, the skaters will skate past the Marina Safeway store, down Marina Blvd. Once we are under the Palace dome, all skaters join hands and skate in a giant circle .
D guides the skaters into formations that look like fantastic curly Q designs.
They swirl around turning at various points until the beginning meets the end. By now everyone has caught up. It's time to go. This is the halfway point. We pack the place as we get food and drinks.
