Finally tried it Sat. afternoon when Crissy's 29 average windspeeds
didn't pan out (sailing area enshrouded by fog, big flood, big sails
slogging). I headed to Treasure Island. Launch from boatramp between
office bldg. and military housing on NE corner of the island. Turn right
after main entrance, left on M, left on 14th, right on I. Launch on
rip-rap or down boatramp. Wind shadow on inside of the breakwater.
Clear shot to Marin and Richmond on SW flow.

Crystal clear day, whitecaps all over the place. My session was up and
down. 4.9 on the 8'8". About 20 sailors out. Was planin' just barely
90% of the time. Looked windier. Due to the tide and lighter than
expected winds, I wasn't fully powered I didn't want to miss the launch
(next stop, Berkeley!), so I headed in after an hour. Nice to sail
where no big boat traffic that I saw on a lot of wide open bay. This
place probably rips on a good ebb, and hey, you can always put in at
Alcatraz or Crissy if you become becalmed!
