T.I. is definitely an advanced site if you are launching from the boat ramp
at the NE corner. On the other hand, if you are comfortable clambering over
rocks with your gear, then you can launch upwind and have a safety margin in
case you are underpowered. I walk half way up to the NW corner with my gear
and climb down just past the outfall pipes. The last time I sailed there, I
was able to climb out on the outer of the of the launch breakwater without
much difficulty. This applies mainly to those of you who wear booties and
comfortable launching at places like H's Lordships and North Tower.
P.S. Can't anyone get me the scoop on Tigers!
