Richardson Bay is an inlet of San Francisco Bay known for its calm waters and Federal Anchorage which attracts the year-round boat dwellers known locally as anchor-outs.  If you are curious about the many boats anchored in Richardson Bay, read Anchor Out: A Novel by local author Barbara Sapienza which follows the life of one of Sausalito’s anchor-out residents in the present day.

Richardson Bay is named for William Richardson, an English seaman who married to the daughter of the Commandante of the Presidio in 1838 and was given almost 20,000 acres of land in what is now Marin County. After marriage Richardson settled on the shores of Sausalito. William Richardson is considered the historical founder of the town.
