Directions From Space


View Larger Map

Directions:

  • Emeryville Marina is on Powell St., which has its own exit on 80/580. However, it is not possible to take this exit when travelling North on 880 from the East Bay or West on 580. Either take the next exit and find your way back to Powell St or (easier) take 980 and exit as it merges with 880.

  • Drive as far down Powell St. as its is possible to go and park. My boat is at the very last dock.

  • Someone will need to let you in at the gate. Call me when you arrive.



What to bring:

  • Dress for skiing. (Layers, gloves, hat, sunscreen, sunglasses, fleece, windproof/waterproof pants/jacket). You'll be too hot or too cold at some point.

  • A lifejacket if you have one.

  • Camera.

  • Sneakers (with non-marking soles if you've got them).

  • Food (we usually break out the grill for lunch) and your favorite beverage. People bringing hot drinks to share get bonus points.

  • Bring a lifejacket if you have one. (The boat has two good spares and a bunch of very uncomfortable others)



Safety tips.

  • Stay on the boat.

  • Don't step on the lines.

  • Keep fingers out of winches.

  • Duck.
