Does anybody remember when the big building upwind of
Foster City Lagoon was built? I remember the lagoon as being
relatively windy, and it seems dead now, and fluky if
anything. Of course, we have no data . . .

It's scary how much of the access has come under attack
over the last year. I have been thinking (of course, I
haven't done anything about it but write this email)
that if we just stay reactive, then eventually we will
lose.

We don't actually own anything,
like a marina, even though economically as a group
could stand and deliver if we chose to. We expect
the access itself to be free, so we rely on our status
as a "user community" of public facilities to carry the
day, and many of you have put a lot of
time in on this mode, and quite successfully.

There are other areas with smaller windsurfer populations
that can support private launches. Is the cost prohibitive
for the Bay? Maybe the end around is to try to get Bay
frontage included in green belts. (well, brown belts)
