Hi Bill, Hope I'm doing this thread correctly (first time). My name is Joe also, and I know what you mean by not much wind in the Bay Area. Yesterday, Sunday I launched from the Berkeley Marina, and barely any wind at all. Good thing I had my outboard topped off, since I wasn't going anywhere at times, esp. since current is still a factor. Had a good time though, and if one is interested in sailing up here, I recommend Berkeley to launch at. Lots of parking, four good boat ramps in good shape, and only $5.00 to launch. One caveat, when getting off 580 north onto University Av., going west is a little tricky if you haven't been there before. Anyways, that's all on there web page. JoeB
