Bay Area meet up

[ketch22]

Naty and I can plan for Nov 10 or 11.

It will be a welcome break from the move to AZ.

Kim and I are probably available for either weekend.

Definitely won’t sail in though.

Dangit Ketch22!

And other wordly activities Will you be sailing in?

Let's pencil in Nov 10-11 so I don't over book it with something else and that seems like a good weekend for others. I'll send a message to Mike on Jacqueline in case he's not reading this thread. Who else are we missing? Do we want to invite the other SHTP skippers or shall we keep it to a Freedom Rendez-Vous only? I'm happy either way.

Dangit Ketch22!

Oh no, that was exactly the weekend you can't make it! I always dislike being the decider and leaving someone out

[AgentLocke]

Ah, it happens. I'll be checking out a Freedom that week anyways, so not a total loss.

I’d LOVE to come! Could make it Nov 10/11 or Oct 28. I’ll block out those dates now and follow this thread closely for developments. I’d need a slip.

Is this at Jack London Square?

Is this at Jack London Square?

No, it would be about 2 miles farther up the estuary at Oakland Marinas (1853 Embarcadero) between British Marine and Motel 6. Quinn's Lighthouse Restaurant is just on the other side of British Marine. We have two grills, a super nice patio (see pic) and plenty of slips and side ties. It looks like Nov 10-11 is best, but we're going to miss Ketch 22 the evening of the 10th because of a change of watch. Maybe we can do a breakfast on the 11th before everyone leaves, for those who are sailing in. The Buttercup Diner is just down the street. Their breakfasts are hearty! I might also be able to line up some berths (Air B&B-type berths) for anyone who wants to stay over on Saturday.

For sailing directions, you would go about 5 miles down the estuary until just before CG Island, then you hang a left, which is called Brooklyn Basin. You have to be very careful to stay to toward the north side of the channel (it's marked) because it is supremely shallow next to the Coast Guard base. You go all the way down until just before the CG causeway. Oakland Marinas is the first one at the end past Motel 6. Let me know how many are coming by boat or who needs a berth, and I can talk to the office tomorrow to start lining up slips.
