    Fred,
    Unless you are going to be in San francisco for an extended period of time
    I'd leave the boat where it is. There is not going to be much liveaboard
    space around the city. South San Francisco used to have slips but now that
    Brisbane kicked out all the liveboards I wouldn't count on that. Also, the
    weather in South San Francisco really sucks. South Beach would be OK but
    they are really strict about liveaboards. If you don't mind a commute from
    the East Bay you can find a slip here in Alameda where the weather is better
    but unless you can commute on public transportation you'll tire of the
    lengthy car commute.
    Regards,
    Kathy and Dave Benjamin
