COYOTE POINT DESTINATION CRUISE
AND MINI CHALLENGE
Saturday, Sunday, September 24-25, 2016

Saturday, SEPTEMBER 24 - We will sail down to Coyote Point, we've got a fun navigational exercise, with a beginning time and a route to follow to practice your navigation skills. It's also a great opportunity to teach a friend, child or grandchild how to plot a course with waypoints (marks), then steer by compass to find your way and arrive where you want to. Record your time as you pass between Mark 3, G1 / R2 of San Bruno channel and the boat with the closest time to one Eric has secretly recorded will get a prize. We'll have some FUN & SOME SERIOUS prizes for those that participate!

We'll aim to rendezvous just south of Yerba Buena Island at 11:45 and use the outer Estuary channel marks as a beginning point at 12:00. This is a fun Rally so hoist your flags proudly! The start is GPS time based. From there we'll find two marks along the shore before Hunters Point, then the first buoy pair for the deep water San Bruno Shoal Channel G1 and R2 in the South Bay and finally Coyote Point Yacht Club mark Z where the route ends. That gives you a couple of miles to get sails down and motor in the channel. Details are in the "Route Instructions." Take your time as you go by each mark just for the fun of it. Here are links to details and chart images of the route: Route Instructions, Route Chart, Assembly/Beginning , Finish & range to enter Harbor, and Harbor Chart.

BE SURE to line up on a bearing of about 215 to line up the channel marks entering Coyote Harbor --- or else you might go aground!

We will gather at the CPYC Guest Dock and have appetizers and dinner at the yacht club. CPYC Meal available is spaghetti and Meatballs, Salad and Garlic Bread at $15 per person. Note the number of people attending dinner in your reservation form below.
