Additional info on Foster City.
Electric motors are allowed.
Docks and seawalls are unpadded, so fenders are recommended. Watch out for
sharp corner when moving boat from ramp dock to long dock.
Wind will lessen under bridges, so get sufficient speed to carry through.
(Not difficult.) Use center span for maximum clearance--about 3 ft above
P15 mast. All three bridges are similar.
Directions from 101: Take Hillsdale to Foster City Boulevard, turn right on
Bounty Drive, just before the bridge, then left into parking lot.
Or (my favorite) turn right on Shell from Hillsdale, then left on Bounty,
then right into parking lot at Boat Park.
