About two years ago (on one of those dead days in Berkeley), 7 Berkeley
sailors parked and launched at the northeast corner of the island. While we
were unrigging, two MPs came and informed us that windsurfing was strictly
prohibited, that the island was not open to the public and would remain
restricted until '97(??).
