Now the 42-year-old is negotiating a move onto a fourth vessel that’s situated near Baker.
Baker has an established reputation on the Sausalito waterfront as a Good Samaritan, which is the title he has printed on his business cards. It goes back to the days when he patrolled the bay in a 24-foot tugboat called the Tug Kent he rigged for volunteer firefighting and rescue duties. Greg Baker ride an e-bike someone gave him recently on the Sausalito waterfront. The expanding population of anchor outs with little or no boating experience in recent years has given rise to complaints about problems ranging from drug use and littering to deaths on the waterfront.
Before the pandemic, the Richardson Bay Special Anchorage Assn. held a couple of meetings. But Baker said they were overrun by “rabble-rousers,” and the group never got off the ground.
