Sorry it took so long to reply about the rate on the hotel. The rooms start at 189 per night. Steep, but you can wake up and go down to the underground parking and unload your yak from the roof of your car. I do mean car. The hotel is old and the parking structure has a low ceiling. They claim a clearance of 6'3". It might be possible to lock your yak to something in the garage, like the wakeboard boat on the trailer in the far corner of the garage. The staff is very nice and I am sure they would try to accomodate a yak. Bring wheels and you can roll to the launch in minutes. Then lock the wheels to the pileings at the left of the launch.
As for where the sandie spot was, I can only guess. I do not have a gps so the best description would be: north of the launch, out from the pier and past the point distance wise going west. Not exact but i was watching the finder and the drift of the Lucanus.
