Ferg is definitely right on...
Once I retired my wife and I moved down to the Las Vegas valley, but before we moved I spent my first 62 years of life in the Bay Area. I was raised boating on SF Bay and in the Delta, first on my family's cabin cruiser, then later on my own sailboat(s). With retirement in 2012 came our C-Dory (Cape Cruiser), which we absolutely love! It is a fabulously versatile and well built boat. We don't visit the bay much anymore since it's kind of a "been there, done that" kind of thing. I don't know what your questions might be so I may not be a good resource, but feel free to check in if you so desire. I do know there are several active Brats who live and boat in Northern California so they should be able to provide relevant current info.
