Ahoy!
Sorry for the delay this week. First the move, then technology got me a bit behind.
All the boats in Sausalito are nestled comfy in their own slips and ready for charter. One of our members who chartered out of Sausalito this weekend gave us a rundown of his impression of the place. Overall good changes! West Marine and Mollie Stones are on the same street so you have easy access to the things you need. There are several great restaurants nearby. The clubhouse and classrooms are a lot more spacious and the view is really great! The most important bonus is the single slip for every boat.
If you aren't chartering out of Sausalito for Fleet Week, or in upcoming weeks, we'll be having an Open House on Saturday, November 5th from 3pm - 6pm so be sure to stop by and check out our new digs!
Speaking of Fleet Week - We've added some information below. Download great information about what to see, what to avoid, and how to have a safe time while you're out there. This is the busiest weekend of the year on the Bay so be sure to be extra vigilant, bring sunscreen and lots of water and have a great time! |

TODAY'S TIP
Identify landmarks when pulling out of your slip for Fleet Week.
We use this tip every year but it bears repeating. When you leave your slip, don't use boats next to you to help remind you where your slip will be when you get back, it's probable that the slip will be empty. Make note of slip numbers and landmarks. Your slip number is identified on your "Post Cruise" document
