Keep Marina Bay in mind as an option too. There's a launch ramp & it
will be the site of the Master Worlds next year. I don't have dry
storage here but I could look into the cost to see if it's doable (no
promises though).
On the plus side is a big basin with flat water for when we don't
want to go outside and relatively easy access to the Circle when the
tide is right (not as easy as Berkeley though). And because it's
private property we dodge the drinking in public = ticket problem.
There are fewer fishermen here to fight it out with in the evenings
too.
We were talking about doing some weekend practice sessions out of
here when there's no regattas so there's an open invitation to come
check it out.
Maybe what we should do before settling on a spot is be a roving band
of Laser sailors and try out several spots over the next few months
and see if one in particular works out the best.

:: Hey guys this TI thing sucks!

:: How about some other options/suggestions!
:: Berkeley Marina? The Launch ramp next to OCSC.

:: Positives: The dry storage is cheap and the spots are
:: big enough to pack a few lasers in one spot. Theres
:: always wind! The "Berkeley Circle" marks are allready
:: set! No bridge toll for East bay people. Plenty of space
:: to rig up. No Vanguards...
::
:: Negatives: We might have to fight it out on the ramp
:: with the fisherman. Launch Fee! To Much Wind????
:: Drinking in Public=Ticket
::
:: Just a suggestion! I agree with Mike! The Cove is
:: holding us back! The cove is a ton of fun, but I want to
:: get some more practice out on the bay. Oh yeah if we go

:: i.e. West Marine Thursday Nights?
:: I just want to go sailing!
