Our boat is close to the intersection of three streets at the northmost part of San Francisco: Marina Blvd, Cervantes and Scott. It is immediately next to Marina Park, where they fly kites. There is a small house there with flags flying and a sign on top of the house saying: "Harbor Office" and a phone number. There is lots of parking around there but on weekends, don't park in spaces with a red stripe. If only red striped spaces are available, that's OK -- just go into the harbor office and ask for a one day pass because you are sailing. Call Alex's cell phone if you have problems or to tell me you have arrived.
If you find a close spot and are already parked, you can get to our boat by going directly west through the gate at the Harbor office entrance (tell them you are sailing with us and they will buzz you in), take one of the two ramps going down on the left, continue west along the docks until Berth 411 per the drawing below. Our boat is named: "Hulakai" (Hawaiian for Sea Dancer).In case of problems, call our cell phones.
What to Wear and Bring
For clothes, dress in layers. The range of possibilities goes from shorts and sunbathing (Sausalito or lee side of Angel Island) to Arctic blasts (in front of the Gate). We have life jackets fro everyone and some extra foul weather gear but we suggest you bring your own waterproof jackets, pants and hood if you have any. Also, a change of clothes and towels are recommended in case you get wet especially if you plan to go out to dinner in SF afterward. There are showers at the Marina. No black rubber soles on shoes please. (Takes hours to scrub off black rubber marks from fiberglass!)Bare feet are OK if you have them.
You may want to bring camera, sunscreen, hats with straps, dark glasses, snacks, drinks and (optional) gifts for the skipper. :-) If you're subject to motion sickness, three or four ginger capsules half hour before we leave works best and doesn't cause drowsiness. (We have them on board, or you can get them at health food stores.) (Very few people get sick sailing inside of the Bay as there is a lot of scenery to watch and there are no ocean swells.)
