Problems with mitigation measures are:
1) Safety.... there will still be a large windshadow even if we get a
new launch upwind of Coyote.
2) Planned Airport expansion will probably cut off the bay from any
sites upwind of Coyote. We are already concerned about losing the
launch and grass rigging area by the hotels due to this.
3) Parking and security. LOTS of people can park inside the park and
we feel fairly safe leaving our gear there while we sail due to having
rangers.
4) Safety - can sail alone and know that a ranger will call coastguard
if our vehicle is still there when they close the park.
Maybe someone can keep all these ideas and potential problems in a
common site....SFBA website?
