I would drool over the moving of the road farther back. I sometimes
sail there doing the slog from Oyster... a bit dicey with the Genentech
buildings there, more so since so few people seem to do it with me. The
wind smooths out the farther out you get, so having a launch on the
little peninsula, but farther downwind would be phenominal. I'm not a
SF resident, but I suppose I could find myself to a meeting about it
sometime.
