Bernie,

Take the Embarcadero Rd exit off 101 in Mountain View. Go east until you get
to a T intersection, take a left. Follow that all the way until the end and
it turns into a little dirt circle. Thats called the Palo Alto sailing area.

It is rather muddy, and you can really only go two hours on either side of
high tide. There's a very narrow channel to go out on, but once your out in
the bay its fine. Just the going out and coming in part are VERY tricky. Do
it wrong and your in mud up to your waist. How-ever if you live in San Jose
like me, its a good bet if you watch the tides and wind. Hardly ever
crowded. I guess it just depends on the kind of sailing you like to do. If
your a high wind snob, or just a windsurfing snob in general then I'd agree
with the other posting on here and suggest you don't bother.

Dunno where you live, but if you want to cruise out there sometime I'll be
glad to meet you somewhere and show you where its at.

Kevin
