====Needs/desires====

* More/better ways to get to/from the marinas
* More/better way to transport materials (plywood, etc) to and from the event
* Dedicated docking for ferries 
* Dedicated docking for small 
* More berths 
* Storage for art boats 
* Transport for art boats
* Work space for art boats near the event
* Better information sharing about existing resources (wiki, etc) 

====Possible solutions====

* Oceanus is planning to bring the Aurora next year, a German cruise ship with 1000+ berths.  However, the ship needs substantial restoration work.  Those who put in sufficient hours for the restoration will get berths for free/reduced price. 
* Green boats  (similar to the green bikes at Burning Man).  One possibility is the Sea-cycle limo, which is a pedal-powered catamaran which can carry 4 people:

* Hire a barge to transport materials 
* Buy a barge to transport materials

====Open tasks====

* Promote the wiki more (if anyone wants editing access, get in touch with 
* Contact local marinas to arrange staging space for art boats.  
* Contact Hiltons to inquire about using their property as a staging and launch space
* Create a volunteer group to give back to the local community (delta restoration, trash cleanup, park infrastructure builds) to make amends for negative externalities we may impose on the surrounding community
* Search for barge for purchase/rental 

====Notes====

* Patio boats can comfortably take 15 people, 19 max.  More than that, and they're likely to capsize.  
* Limited number of patio boats at Paradise Point. 
* Get in touch with Sean Ironstag or Lucas Royland for inquiries about berthing on the Aurora or volunteering for the Aurora restoration 
* If you'd like to help with a green boat program, get in touch with Chris Rasch
