I drove down Pacific there is no parking to the west of the marina and the marina doesn' look that inviting. I'm going to try the end of Sycamore St. And if that is no good I'll try Point Pinole. Can you drive out the point to the water?

Yes that's what I thought. The waste water treatment plant looks like good access, but I just have a hard time getting in the water so close to it. I'll let you know how I do, thanks for all your help. See you all at Sherman on the weekend I hope!!! :shhh: :shhh:

Lord knows we need a few more kite spots in the Bay to keep up with the growth in our sport. Seems like that area works on several different directions of wind.

I've scoped point pinole out as well. The only problem is there is a firing range aiming up over the water towards the point. They are shooting skeet with shotguns. Anyone want to venture what the safe distance would be? I wouldn't want to break down and drift into the range either. I'm pretty sure the rod and gun club has enough clout to get kiting banned if people wound up floating in their firing range.
