If you are sailing the bay side at cabrillo, is the light E station a better station to use than the one that seems to be in the parking lot?

On another note

"Cabrillo Beach in San Pedro earned an F for the eighth consecutive summer despite millions of dollars spent on municipal projects to improve water quality." Ehhhhh

BerkeleyFriday, a little better than yesterday, 6.0 and 100 almost fully powered, until that guy with a 7 passed me by......
But I heard PtIsabelle was much better, after the fact.

Marina Bay was awesome. Started with 93&4.7 then switched to 76&4.7. Swell was pretty nice.

Berk slow rising light winds, 6.6 and 120, but up above Lordships, Xaivier won most of the races with a 7.8 on his Formula, so there was some wind.
N of the big pier was windier, for sure.

Sailed Natural Bridges yesterday and today. Both times I was on a 7.0. Yesterday, the only other sailor out was on a 5.2. Today there were two other sailors, one on a 5.7 and another on a 5.3.

Broke a tendon on my universal yesterday in the shore break not timing my coming in between set properly. Nothing broken today, but a bruise on my thigh from catapulting when hitting a little kelp head at full speed. Normally the fin would rip right through a small head, but this one was apparently particularly dense. The ocean water and its coolness helped the pain go away. Still sat there in the water a bit waiting for it to ease.

Anyway, 'Bridges is good for wind even when the rest of the coast is marginal. No wave sailing, but still fun on the ocean.

Berkeley Sunday, tough day up and down, 5.8 and 100.
Had a senior moment. Old Chinnook front end popped the lines, completely unravelling when I got to the Lordships. For the life of me, and 10 minuites, couldn't figure how the thread it on in the water. Looped on end on, sailed to shore, and voile, instantly came to me with a flick and flip.
I hate getting old.

Pt. Isabel - Saturday and Sunday.

a little light at the launch, good wind out closer to Brooks Island.

Must have been a dozen kites in the water on Sunday...never seen so many at that spot. Busy, but still plenty of space on the water.

Berkeley Monday, kinda lonely out there, 6.6 well powered and 90 liter Slab, nice top speed runs all the way across for a change. It did die around 3 and come back, but OK thru the whole sesh.
