I left Jack London Marina and cruised over to Clipper Cove on Treasure Island for a few days. Jack London area was pretty cool, but the occasional ferry operator who would come in steaming hot, bringing a 4' wake was not. I was really glad to get away from the dangers of being tied up to something hard and be back on the hook. No treasure on treasure Island... It's a dump, but it will do for now while I wait a couple days for my haul out later this week. People were probably thinking I'm nuts for anchoring in the middle of the cove where there is no wind protection. Truth is, I have two Eclectic D400 wind generators and they can't do their job without that strong breeze flowing through them. Time will tell, but let's see if this will be the smoothest anchorage in the Bay!
