I put the boat in a marina in the California Delta. Korth's Pirates Lair. There is good access to some fairly wide open waters of the San Joaquin River and also to some narrow channels, all running eventually out into the San Francisco Bay. I thought I would post a few photos. I tried videos but 1 mb for a video is pretty small. I could not figure out how to get it that small and still have good enough quality. I am actually in a covered slip but in these photos I pulled the boat out into the guest dock to set up the mast and practice raising and lowering the sail. There was zero wind the last coulple of days so I just stayed at the dock. Fall/Winter is our calm season so I may not get a real test until next spring. The access to this slip is quite narrow so in a couple of weeks I will be moving into a larger slip with a wider access channel. Luckily for the same price. WooHoo!
