Could one of the folks who launched off pipe platform on the north end of TI yesterday give some details/tips on using that spot? e.g. Where to park and rig, location of fence gaps, best strategies for getting in and out of the water, etc.
Thanks in advance. |

and more importantly, were you wearing booties? Those rocks look intimidating and exposed in high wind/swell days. I like my feet bare in the straps  |

| I've been itching to go out on the N side of TI for a while. I work part time at the sailing center so I've always launched out of there. I haven't explored the N side fully but you'll definitely be sneaking through dillapidated areas and I'm not sure about parking. Despite this you launch right into the main windchannel on that N side. I'd imagine similar conditions to Crissy but you have the advantage of beach launching just under the NE corner in the lee... |

I may just be dreaming about the beach but the cove is definitely sheltered.
Here's a google map:

jptsf,
this link to fill you in, we've been sailing the north end all the way to Angel Island for years. Do a search for Treasure Island on this forum and you'll find more info

Crank up your imagination a couple of notches. |
