Anyone want to discuss the Spinnaker Cup (May 28, San Francisco to Monterey)? This is the first time for VALIS and I wouldn't mind hearing from anyone who knows what to expect.
So the start is around 11:00, near the SW corner of Angel Island, right in the middle of a big flood tide. As I see it, with any wind at all I will need to get over to the south side of the bay and work our way out by the South tower and Mile rock. With light wind perhaps I'd best anchor until the tide starts to go slack!
What about that "Montera Wind Hole" I keep hearing about? How far offshore would you expect we will want to go (in our heavy cruiser)?
Any advice for the Monterey approach? What are the typical AM wind patterns?
