This is something I have been meaning to ask about for a while. Is there a
launch site for the Golden Gate/Crissy on the North shore/Marin? I too
have noticed that the winds at Crissy tend to be W/SW, and it seems like
you would get much better launching conditions if you came from the North
side rather than having to launch from a wind shadow near the beach at
Crissy.
