Our Waters
BIAC offers access to the port, shipping channel, and beautiful sloughs that comprise and surround Bair Island. A Satellite ViewThe adjacent satellite photo shows some of our waters, particularly the channel that we share with the Port of Redwood City. Click on the image for a detailed view. As a reference, from BIAC (lower left) to "The Wires" (port/bay boundary) is about 2.5 miles (4km). Stanford's boathouse is 1500 km from BIAC and has a commanding view of the Port.

Channel Markers in Redwood CreekThe numbers on the satellite photograph and the map show the Port's channel markers. Green markers are odd-numbered and square shaped while red markers are even-numbered and triangular. The blue line slanting across the map indicates the high voltage power lines (the "wires"), whose towers straddle the mouth of Redwood Creek where it flows into San Francisco Bay. |
