"...still trying to recall Drake."

Drakes Bay is about 25 nm north of the gate. Tucked in right behind Pt. Reyes. Not a usual destination at this time of year because while it's protected from westerlies and northerlies, it is open to storm-generated southerlies.

Oh yeah, I know Point Reyes...I'd never sail up that area...too treacherous and no reward.

Last time I was in Drake's Bay was 1964, on a Fletcher Class DD. The skiper ran flank for several hours at sea to get ahead of schedule, because he wanted to put in & wet a line, before docking at Treasure Island.

Captain on the fantail, with a telephone talker to give orders to the bridge, while trolling dead slow; then entered anchored in Drake's Bay for flounder.

I always preferrred Tomales Bay.
