I voted that I didn't have a strong opion about splitting the start. However, if one start/finish was at the north end of Treasure Island, near the little cove/launch ramp, there's a fair bit of parking and open space there. A pop-up tent could be set up behind some cars, and a temporary buoy set 100 yards off the shore. Also, a couple hundred yards south along the east shore of TI, there's a parking area at the end of 13th street with room for a couple of cars and a tent.
Also on TI, near the intersection of Avenue N. and 3rd street ther'es quite a bit of parking on the side of Avenue N. and there's even a picnic table in the trees. Cars can be parked and a tent set up.. Setting up a temporary buoy 100 yards off the shore shouldn't be too difficult.
I have a table and a pop-up 10 x 10 tent that the SSS can borrow. Just make sure that the tent is weighted down!
Also a pretty heavy-duty, not "pop-up" (it takes some assembly) 10 x 10 tent with sides is < $100 on ebay. I've put these up, though not in 30 knots of wind, and it takes two people about 30-45 minutes to get the thing up and going.
