You missed the "/yr". The budget to upgrade
the wearable items every three years was an ample
$900, thus the annual cost is $300. For less than
a dollar a day you can sponsor a starving WS! %^)

Great! These should be documented on the sfba
website.

Which is still pilot error. It is irresponsible to
slog around outside on a small board, as the wind
shuts down. Using a modern floaty board will get
you there and more importantly back!
The CG should only be needed for fluke things like
heart attacks, and broken limbs. All pilot errors
are a patient swim in. Search for the old thread
"coast guard is not your taxi service".

Thank you Peter for the heads up on the No xSFO
donations, and for yours and Zmans hard work!!!
