An Update on Overnight Anchoring Applications for Clipper Cove
Treasure Island Development Authority (TIDA) has notified us that the online location of the Clipper Cove short-term anchoring application form has changed. Whereas previously one would find the web form on Google Forms, it is now located on MS Forms. You might have bookmarked the old site — it’s time to update that bookmark.
The form itself is still the same, TIDA’s Peter Summerville tells us, but the URL is new.
The new URL is: https://forms.office.com/g/uAm71XLL9h.
“[The] easiest reminder for folks is to look for the office.com [in the] URL; don’t use the one with a Google URL anymore,” Peter writes.
The old Google Form page will remain for a little while as a “skeleton,” with a link to the new page. So even if you forget, you’ll still land in the right place, for now.
You can also find the link on the TIDA Cove webpage.
It’s great that we’re getting this news now. With summer approaching sailors will be planning nights at anchor whenever possible.
While we’re on the topic … what’s your favorite summer anchorage? And why? Let us know in the comments below, or email us at [email protected].
From Greg Clausen: “There are not many place in SF bay to anchor for the night and now it seems paperwork is involved with one of them, is there a fee? The freedom of sailing is diminishing. I have spent a lot of time anchored in paradise cove, rolling with ferry wakes sure but it’s free and you don’t have to check in.”
From Peter Summerville at TIDA: “No fee for permits, no fees for day anchorages.”
When does it become necessary to fill out a form? For more than two nights?
Also from Peter Summerville: “Permit applications (form or voicemail) are required by the time a vessel has been anchored for 24 hours. If a vessel arrives with the intention to stay more than a single overnight, it is best to submit an application/receive a permit to be covered.”
No fee, 4 days max, and no permit for less then 24 hrs.
