Deep Water Channel/Lost Isle Area/Windmill Cove maps

I hear talk of people going to ride at windmill cove, so I thought we could map out some of the key points of this area. I made a guess here, but give feedback and I will adjust the map.

The red line is the riding area

Actually, that's not the best part of the area. The best part goes north. That's the Deep Water Channel.

Windmill cove is the launch, but not the destination IMO.

The Blue is the Deep Water Channel. This area is probably (dare I say) better than Indian Slough because there are MUCH bigger boats and tankers going through. There are also a lot of wake boarding boats too. The width is a lot wider too so there is a lot more space for boats and pwcs to operate in. And you have a bunch of marinas in the area and you don't have long idles like at Orwood.

WC = Windmill Cove
LI = Lost Isle
TL = Tiki Lagun
KI = Kings Island
H & H = Herman & Helens

Oh, and the other attachment is an arial picture of Lost Isle.

For me, Windmill cove is the destination. I normally don't go too far from there. There is a lot of activity around there with ski beach and all the other beach areas to rest at. There is a constant flow of big and little boats. There is a wide channel with plenty of space to jump a wake even when there is another boat going the other direction on the oposite side of the channel. And if my old 550 ski breaks down, I don't have far to paddle. Many of the jet skiiers I have met out there launch out of Stockton which is ony a 5 minute ride away. I launch from Windmill cove since I am coming from Livermore, and I have NEVER had to wait in line to launch. Even Sunday before Memorial day. There is also a restaurant, bar, gasoline, and camping at Windmill Cove.
