I've been to Alameda twice (from Coyote) and once to Oakland Airport (from
3rd), always on a 12 ft longboard, and all three times during standard
afternoon summertime conditions. Both times to Alameda I encountered a
humongous wind shadow downwind of San Bruno Mountain, very far off shore.
All three times I had to uphaul a lot and schlog in light winds until the
good winds were re-encountered.
Destination sailing can be fun, provided you are ready for a very wide
range of sailing conditions, and provided you are prepared to return by
land from a distant unpredictable locale.
