Let's think of someplace in the lee of the City. Anyplace in front of the Ferry Bldg down to Pier 40 (Pac Bell Park) is good - OK protected from the wind. The ferry piers (Pier One, Pier 1/2) might work. The Port Pilots are at Pier 9, they might help. Either of these would be highly visible.
Anyone else have any suggestions for a highly visible, wind protected spot??
Sigh...
