T&T: Home and Clueless in Bay Area

[PrncessKHY@aol.com]

Hi Guys.....
 
We finally have our boat in our home port and don't know  
nothin'....including about chandleries and skilled workers here!  In  the spirit of "one is never 
really done".....
 
#1  any thoughts on good boat yards in the SF Bay Area?  We still  have 
several projects on the list -- any good recommendations for boat  yards??  Skilled 
Independent workers??  
 
#2  we want to have some interior teak work done (e.g. floors sanded  and 
revarnished - the dings from the cans dropped need to go!)   Do you know of 
anyone locally who does good work? 
 
#3  we will be here for the summer....any recommendations for some  
day/weekend cruises from you veterans here???   We'd like to do  some short trips 
before we take off full-time....particularly with our local  friends who haven't 
been able to be a part of our cruising life, thus  far.  Any ideas would be 
greatly appreciated, especially those  trips that make new guests feel comfortable 
and at home.
 
Thanks to all of you for your input....we've been list members since  we 
started looking for a boat in 2002/2003.  We've found that we  referenced this 
lists' reco's more than once (or was it a thousand  times?) in our cruising the 
PNW and Alaska. 
 
And, OHmygosh.....it can happen!  
 
Don't give up the dream!

advise when decision is made??)
