I usually launch just from the other side of the harbor. (near sailing club).
I haven't sailed it often , just once a while when the lack of wave frustration gets me!
It is a bit gusty near the shore but you are there in one tack.
and could rest on island with seals. they stinck though

If there is a spot to check out by boat, I'll definetely give a hand to get out of the pen

I'll keep in touch
