hate to interrupt the boredom with some of what could be fact, but here goes:
If HR is heading to the estuary he could be in for as much trouble as he all ready has, or more, look for the headline "OAKLAND'S ANCHOR-OUT COMMUNITY" on the following link...
I noticed a good breeze up here in San Rafael yesterday and wondered how he was managing.
The estuary is one of the things we talked about at breakfast, and what HR emailed me about yesterday. The juncture of the Petaluma River and San Antonio Creek, where I suggested he also investigate, is...
sorry. But the clock is still ticking on the relocation deadline. Got another question from HR about a specific location this morning. This thread could really come back to life, who knows. And the FHjr is gone, though I am not privy to the why of it. As friendly as HR is, it wouldn't surprise...
Just got back from a visit with Hotrod and Mrs Hot, she is a good influence on him, but seemed unwilling to explain her dalliance with Guy.
He speaks about the speed of light, trying to gather info from him is interesting, not unlike the messages he posts here, an incomplete thought, followed...
"Even the best advice in this thread was not given until it was too late to actually do much good"
So true. Remember the under-built hulls were finished and trucked to LL before this thread ever started. If all the advice had been taken and the boat finished in a proper seaworthy fashion, the...
I can't disagree from personal experience, but I asked one of my go to sources before posting. It is grassy these days. Yes, from 101 the pretty little house boats are lying in the mud, and that's what we see from shore. What is beneath the surface on the east side is definitely grass
Just spent some time talking to HR, I wish to clarify about the anchor dragging. I was unaware of RB having a grassy bottom, That grassy bottom and his 150# stockless anchor are not compatible. A diver has offered to bury the anchor for him, I have no idea of that is viable or not, but I did...
all I did was tell you what HR related to me. The IJ and other media didn't go into construction detail, this list did. Can you tell the difference between exterior shots and a happy boat builder and interior shots and all the critique offered here? When did the media go into pages of debate...
RB isn't anarchy, there is a balance there between the anchor outs permitted and the land owners whose view is defiled but the unphotogenic floating debris that at one time was a boat. The 'Master' is the controlling legal authority walking the fine line between both interests. That said, RB has...
The issues on Richardson Bay were explained many pages ago. The same laws tht forced them off the 'beach/ at Spinnaker Point, across from Loch Lomond have now been enforced in RB. They are much more lenient there because genuine cruisers come in from far away places, but with the weather coming...
Probably a wise move James, I'm sorry your dream is bust, but you folks saw what some good bay area sailing weather can do, the winter storms won't be king at all. Good luck in your future

That may move the FH a little closer to Angel Island...
There are a number of public moorings in RB that are rented by the Harbormaster in RB, the harbormaster that drug him off the mud during the famous "FH is missing" incident, and then gave him advice about ankering., Advice that seems not to have been complete. I've no idea if that is a public...

just fyi, his original link that you copied with such disdain has a typo in it, duly noted a few posts after HR's original post. you were of no help. and in fact added to the confusion.
BTW, HR has changed the header to the FH, but his facebook page still...
more local color for you who monitor from afar. Rod, better watch where you drag for a few months

I wouldn't call that breeze a winter storm by any stretch, wasn't windy enough, nor was the duration significant.
He may have proved enough strength in the attachment point because FH drug a "150# stockless and a 40# danforth" through the mud. In addition, what I get outta that is he doesn't...
