I don't think we have much of a shot at F but we can always try. I used to routinely launch at F, D before we were booted to C and subsequently out of there as well. What do you think about the powerlines at B?

also

What do you think about for general guidelines:

1. Launch and land within the designated corridor only.
(which ever corridor and spacing we negotiate, IF successful)

2. Stay well beyond swim buoys at ALL TIMES.

3. If there is insufficient wind to get out the launch corridor and stay well beyond the swim buoys, DON'T go out.

Other points may be worth putting in there, i.e. this is an advance intermediate or stronger launch not suitable for new kiters due to strong currents, rock groins, nearby trees, heavy beach traffic, etc.. Also, at high tide assisted launches and landings are required along with rolling up of kites prior to leaving them on the beach at B. We might talk about how to come into the out of bounds area to the south in emergencies. And, the congested nature of this beach LIMITS the number of kiters that can effectively use this launch.
