I have never sailed all the way to Alameda/Crown Beach, but I have been about halfway
across about a half dozen times; near those tall channel markers that are close to
each other (#6 and #7, I think). The wind has always seemed to get light as I got
close to those channel markers. I think what happens is that the farther one goes
across in that direction, you get out of the "wind slot" that lines up with the San
Bruno gap. I would expect that this effect would get worst the farther you go across
the Bay toward Alameda.
