Journey On has a tall radar arch with a Lowrance radar sitting on top. The clearances I need:

ON THE TRAILER: The boat fits under the gas station's 11 ft canopy, with some clearance. Always.

IN THE WATER: The boat fits under a 9 ft clearance bridge. Last tested at the Delta Cross Channel in 2016.

Note that the boat is is several feet above the pavement when it's on the trailer and floats to the waterline in the water, giving a height reduction of several feet when it's launched. Remember to lower the VHF antennas (and others, as appropriate.)

As I've mentioned before, we've been under the Petaluma bridge at low tyde when the didn't want to open it.

Kent I hope the surgery goes well and it alleviates your pain, health is the first thing you need to take care of.

I regret that I must pull out of the waiting list, as time got closer and closer we have made too many commitments. I should have dropped out of the list before now and allowed someone else to sign up. Hopefully there is still time for someone to get in on this fantastic get together and enjoy the experience.

Will catch up with some of you folks in Catalina in Aug!

Thanks Boris. I agree that we all should be able to get under the D street bridge at something less than high tide.

Sorry Kent that you will not be able to make it. I admire your longevity and general age related health.

Because Floyd has now removed himself from the waiting list we have room for one more vessel. Please sign up if you want to go.

We have paid for reservations for ten slips at San Francisco. Please send your check for $45 before March 20. Thank you.

Good news. Thanks to all the efforts of John and Laurie we have a new confirmed trip itinerary.

On Thursday morning we will leave the Duck Club and head to the Vallejo Yacht Club (founded in 1900!). We will stay there Thursday night before we head to Petaluma on Friday morning.

The cost for Vallejo berthing is between $20 to $25 per boat, cash preferred.

For those that are interested we can go up the Napa River 13 NM (1.5 hours each way) and tie up at the new Napa Main Street Dock, right in the heart of downtown Napa for lunch.

For drinks and dinner in Vallejo there is the Mare Island Brewery and Zio Fredos Resturant within a short walk of the Vallejo Yacht Club.

For Friday morning John and Laurie are hosting a breakfast at the Vallejo Yacht Club for the group.

Low tide is 1:56 PM at the Petaluma D Street Bridge for our Friday trip to Petaluma.

I think this is a pretty good alternative plan for our trip and most should enjoy this new venue provided by John & Laurie for which we are greatful.

Pedro

Can you check with your good friend at SF South Beach Marina Yacht Club if we could have a group dinner there on Saturday night?

That worked out well last year and we would like to do it again.

Thanks Pedro.

Hey Jim,

Check is in the mail! People have called Kent many things, but deadbeat is not one of them. Thanks for your thoughts. Love the revised itinerary and we hope the weather gods will smile on this year's cruise! Rainbow

Kent

No need to send a check. You get a medical deferment.

Also, someone else may sign up!

Hi Jim,
Looks like it was a group effort, Laurie just reminded me that our reciprocal yacht club thing only got our crew in the door and Pedro had a friend there as well, so they let us stay! good thing... I have a reputation ya know.
Pedro, we'll double team em. Mr. Green Jim let me know if I can be of any assistance.

Jim, John and Laurie, great news on being able to use the Vallejo yacht club, change of pace and scenery is always a delight, thanks!

Kent, we'll miss you, always looking forward to spending some time with you folks. Hope your surgery goes well and you heal fast, at least at a normal pace. Hey, pretty soon we'll be calling you bionic Kent, you'll be out-running us all...

I measured my boat on the trailer yesterday. It's 10' 3" tall from ground to top of the 18" dia radar dome. It's 3 ft from the ground to the waterline. So it's about 7' 3" tall in the water. Let's call it 8 ft even to allow for small wave action. We should have no problem with the Petaluma bridge.

Thank you all for sending the checks in to me for the San Francisco Marina reservations.

I received checks from every one in the group except Sea Spray and Blue Eagle. Are you both still planning on going on this trip?

Kent and Marcia, I even received a check from you but I am not going to cash it. Use your resources for knee physical therapy. You gave plenty of notice on your medical excuse for me to try to find someone else. Thank you for the kind gesture.

Hi Jim,

I sent my check from my credit union. You should have received it on the 16th.
The online site is down right now so I can not look to see if anything went wrong but I will check in the morning.

Hi Jim,

Left it under the mat, along with a thank you card, and sent an email through this site to let you know. Did the email or the money go missing? If so I'll resend it immediately as I greatly enjoy this cruise and don't wish to miss out.

David
