Aaaahhh. Well, that looks scary. Maybe I'll start with everybody else (because that's the fun part), then anchor in Aquatic Park and wait for the next day, when it seems the weather will have moderated a bit. Because my middle name is Prudence. Is this kosher? I can't tell from the Sailing Instructions.
Will it really be only 10-15 TWS at 126 40? One can hope. (GFS per Passage Weather.)
And a southerly swell under NW wind waves - there must be something happening down south.

Thanks, David. So, no dinner at Poggio's. Check. So near and yet so far.
But... You could always order a pizza from Waypoint in Tiburon, they deliver right to your boat! haha
Pizza is definately outside assistance !
I’m following Ruben Gabriel’s advice, ordering a thin crust spinach, onion and mushroom thin crust from Extreme pizza on College Ave to go Tuesday night. I’ll ask them to cut it up into slices, put each slice into a ziplock bag, then eat at my leisure. Or in between leaning over the leeward side of my boat. The pain and the ecstasy.
Thanks for this, Bob. I"d just looked at the NWS pages. Pretty Windy, but not horrible, but a 7 foot swell is impressive. Surfs up!
