Steve, I think you checked off too many boxes. Once you've signed up for the HDA season and paid your entry fee you are automatically entered for Vallejo, since that is a regular race on the HDA schedule. You were not required to pay anything extra for Vallejo since it's all included. Check with Lynda at YRA if you are in doubt. She's at www.yra.org.
Skippers have two choices for over-nighting in Vallejo. The free choice is to raft up at the yacht club harbor and join the party. That's OK except the water is pretty thin and rafting always carries the risk of either damage or someone inside the raft wanting to go earlier than you do. The second choice is to tie up at the municipal marina right next door. It's better dredged so the water depth is better, you get your own berth, there are clean(er) restroom facilities and it's an easy walk to the yacht club. It costs about $10/night. In the past I was able to reserve adjacent slips, and that made the fleet gatherings a whole lot of fun. Last year the harbormaster refused to allow reserved berths, and so it became a first come, first berthed affair and we got spread around the marina. Jane Doe will be in the muni marina.
Expect race instructions about a week before the race.
