hello,
I have a job at pier 28 in San Francisco and I want to sail to work from the east bay on a typical spring day.
Has anyone experience sailing close to the bay bridge by the SF shore?
It doesn't look so good with big boats and current.
I thought to launch at Alameda Park, but maybe there is a better place?

Cheers

(I have volume and a daggerboard)

what time do you have to be @ work?

the wind usually pretty light or very flukey at best until mid afternoon.

back in the day of daggerboards i had a friend in the marina who regularly sailed the opposite direction, from sf to alameda and have his family meet him over there.

No precise time, it was more about doing it once for the heck of it.
Thanks

i would think the oakland estuary would be your biggest problem unless you hit it on one of the rare easterly days.
