Where would the actual racing take place? Out in the open ocean or...a
course around Alcatraz Island? The latter would sure draw shoreline
crowds on all sides of the Bay.


I don't know... maybe both? I guess they would have to suspend tankers
and such from going in and out.

I think Ellison was trying to promote crowds to watch, so they would
have to do some sailing in the bay for that to happen.
