Rig- W/o getting into the issue of the divergent angles of sail and speed of wingers vs. windsurfers, particularly at the entrance to the cove, the more the merrier at TI. Hope to see ya out there whether winging or slashing old school style.

Ross, I found this presentation. Though it can be old.
https://sfgov.org/arts/sites/default/files/141020-TI%20_presentation_small.pdf
In there page 24-25 there is route to the cove. But I dont see any other details.
It mentions the optional weekend route (I am assuming a bus) and bike/auto residential street. Is this something close to what you have seen lately?

For Ross and Cosmecho--Here is the address of the adopted master plan, and if I did it right, it will open to Page 30 of the open space plan. https://app.box.com/s/kv6ey2zyuia4ks875dj0t18d8j3vszdh

If you look carefully, it shows the two access points that Peter Thorner negotiated--the upwind one is labeled 3 and 2 is the parking lot, and the current one is labeled 3 with the parking lot labeled 9. I did check to make sure that was in the plan before I voted for it.

New gate is not there yet. Some diehards parked their cars up the hill and brought everything down to the launch area with a cart dolly. Laughing

Updates on Candlestick Point.

The Good: Candlestick Point State Recreation Area has been open for a few days now. There is a new gate up the street that we can use to enter the park.

The Bad: City street leading up to the main gate of Candlestick Point State Recreation Area remains flooded and San Francisco's mosquito breeding program is very promising.

The Beautiful: A man from the private security company that manages the opening and closing of the park told me that if we happen to sail past 5PM in the future, just call 916-398-7973. They will send someone over to let us out. When I left the park around 6PM today, there were still 5 or 6 cars inside and each car had a small note (see attachment) on the windshield with a number to call to get out.

Fantastic that Candlestick is open again and now until 7p. Does one drive there via 101 and Hunters Point Expressway or is that route still closed and do you have to approach from Gilman Ave by the Vehicle Triage Center (RV living)?
