Reciprocal Moorage
There have been two different suggestions for Delicate Balance as to the best marina or yacht club to visit. Sausalito Yacht Club and the St.Francis Yacht Club. Both are within easy reach. It seems that St. Francis Yacht Club is better because Sausalito Yacht Club only has mooring buoys and Delicate Balance need proper moorage to have emergency repair work done.St Francis Yacht Club offers reciprocal moorage to members of the Royal Vancouver Yacht Club and the Vancouver Rowing Club. A letter of introduction from the yacht club manager is required plus a currrent membership card.

Sausalito is a better place to stop for repairs. There are several boatyards around. It is a smaller place, easier to get around and good restaurants nearby.
Schoonermaker Point Marina is a good place to stop for overnight moorage. Their phone no. is 415*331*5550.They can be reached via VHF 16, ask for Bill Hughes. -

By monitoring the “Spot” site it shows that the Delicate Balance did indeed head to Sausalito, arriving there around 1700 PST, I can only imagine that the guys are looking forward to a nice hot shower and a sleep in a real bed.

Delicate Balance decided to head for Schoonmaker Point Marina in Sausalito. It is the closest from the entrance to the bay. It is also conveniently located, there are several restaurants in the area. Plenty of parking.
