Approaching by Boat

 

 

Approaching from the South Bay 

  1. ​Pass under the Richmond-San Rafael bridge sailing due  north. Be careful of a number of barges and large metal buoys scattered  around.

  2. Head for Green Channel Marker No. 17, Fl. G. 4S. 15Ft 6M,  coordinates 37o 57'425 N. 122o 27' 421 W. This is the entrance to the San  Rafael Canal which is dredged to 6' MLLW, (2002) is approximately 30 feet  wide. The channel runs on a course of 280° Magnetic and is marked by green  channel markers, which are numbered 1-7.

  3. Caution ... Keep the Green  channel markers to the Port side of your boat, as there are no “red, right,  return” channel markers.

  4. Pass marker #3 and just before #5 turn right into  our entrance channel, which has big Pilings on both Port and Starboard.  

 

Approaching from the North Bay

  1. ​Follow the San Pablo Strait going southwest. Pass  between the Sisters and Brothers islands situated respectively outside Point  San Pedro to the west and Point San Pablo to the east. Be aware of a large  number of barges and metal Buoys scattered in the San Rafael Bay which is  very shallow.

  2. Head for Green Channel Marker No. 17, Fl. G. 4S. 15Ft 6M,  coordinates 37o 57'425 N. 122o 27' 421 W. This is the entrance to the San  Rafael Canal which is dredged to 8' MLLW, (2023) is approximately 30 feet  wide. The channel runs on a course of 280° Magnetic and is marked by green  channel markers, which are numbered 1-7. Caution ...

  3. Pass marker #3 and just before #5 turn right into  our entrance channel, which has big Pilings on both Port and Starboard.  

​

In the Channel:  Please Observe

  1. Do Not Cut Corners as the waters outside the markers  are deceptive and shallow. - Green Marker 17, is very small, in spite of the  claim on its character (6M), that should be visible for 6 miles. It is usually  hidden amongst all the barges and buoys. Use your GPS or chart plotter to  find it. - Green Marker 17 at the center. Chart No. 18649.

  2. Depths are in feet. 

  3. Entrance currently 7.5 MLLW into LLYC
