Planted for one of our California boxing pioneers, who used to sail her 8 ft. Sabot (a boat invented by a Long Beach sailor) in regattas along the So. Cal. Coast.
Box 1. Knot Sabot – you can’t sail this one by yourself. Proceed to Sunset Aquatic Park and park near the small semi-covered picnic area. From the Picnic area, head southwest along the paved path. Look to your starboard side for the sign referencing your starboard side followed by another sign referencing your port side. The path crosses a driveway just past the Tony Crafton bench. On the other side of the driveway there is a "no overnight camping" sign, an empty 4 foot metal sign post, and a fire hydrant all in a line. From the back side where the fire hydrant is the box is hanging from the last (bottom) hole in the post, just below the tops of the bushes. Rehide well.
Box 2. Sabot – Proceed to Conrad Park on Trinidad Island, and park at the end of the Cul-de-sac of Wildfire Circle. Proceed to the bench in front of you, by the Basket Ball court. You need to head directly into the wind, but since that is very difficult with your little sailboat, you will have to tack back and forth to your destination (rest at each turn if you wish). Head 40 steps at 50 degrees. Come about and head 80 steps at 40 degrees. Come about and head 50 steps at 10 degrees. Come about and head 70 steps at 70 degrees. Stop and rest on the bench under the tree. To your right, there is a bush that comes out from the wall, hanging anout 2.5 to 3 feet up from the ground in the last bush in that series next to the palm plant is the camoflaged box. Try to locate it before going to the bush, in order to remain discrete. It hangs in the center of the bush.
