Well that is if you are looking for a mooring ball. There are plenty of places that you could drop the hook and stay almost indefinitely; look at the charts of SF bay, and review the "General Anchorage" locations. Clipper cove is nice but you just need to get a permit to stay longer than overnight (although it is tide-bound getting in/out at ~6' MLLW); but it's plenty deep once in the cove.
Other protected areas are Richardson Bay, the cove east of Tiburon, Paradise Cove (south of the San Rafael bridge), or China Camp on San Pablo Bay. Be aware that the tugs and ship traffic can send huge wakes up to the shore in many of these locations (including Angel Island); so be ready to brace when below decks.
