C-Hawk and SEA3PO (C-Hawks only friend) will be putting in at Rio Vista Monday 4/29. Plan to cruise up river and possibly spend a night on the Old Town Sacramento dock. Gotta have a meal (or 2) at Tony's Place in Walnut Grove on the way up or back. _________________ Roger

C-Hawk and SEA3PO, Mind if I join up and tag along? I need to go back and do some checking, but since the geography there is totally new, are you launching at the same place as the official cruise will be starting and leaving from? I plan to be down there, probably a few days earlier than you are planing on, hoping to do some exploring but would like to meet up with you and join the cruise up the river. Are you planning on anchoring out on your "Pre trip" trip, or is that not possible on the river?

the town of Locke looks really interesting. I may have to check that out if I have time.
On another note, and in the interest of now showing up empty handed, I would like to bring a case of wine for dinner at the duck club. _________________ Conrad Metzenberg

Harvey if you have a few days, it might be interesting for you to go up the Mokelumne River. Probably the easiest way is thru 3 mile Slough, which is just a little South of Rio Vista. (I have launched at the State Park there because I was towing the 25 with a 30' RV which was too big to launch at the marina, and gone under the bridge to the Sacramento River.).
I don't know if you could get thru the Delta Cross Canal, even if it were open (near Walnut Grove). Locke Slough is one of our favorites--with bow to the bank of the abandoned railroad, and a very short walk to the town of Locke. There used to be a number of "warnings"--"shoal, snags, & do not enter", We have taken a 6' draft sailboat all of the way to the bank--(carefully). There are a number of marvelous anchorages on the Mokelumne and San Joaquin River sections. We liked it better than the Sacramento River, as you go further inland. _________________ Bob Austin

Conrad. Thanks for the wine contribution.
On the pre-trip for folks, use the visitor dock and walk over to "Al the Wops" in Locke. Have a steak dinner with the Harley Bikers. Tell them you are a C-Doryer. You can also stay the night on this dock for a nominal volunteer user fee. _________________ Jim on M/V Pounder

Bob, Thanks for the Delta tour tips. I am looking forward to this trip, new scenery and hopefully warm(er) weather.
And as a side note, my last sailboat, a Montgomery 15 (#348) "Pelican" with a blue shear stripe went to that area about 12 years ago. Sure would be fun to see that around on the water.
Will I need mosquito defense there?

Not sure where I will be, but will launch before the weekend. I will be monitoring VHF16, and will find out what channel vessel traffic control is and monitor on that one as well, and VHF 69. I will try and meet up with Joel and Roger for the trip up river, and also with Steve maybe for the weekend prior.

I just called the marina, (Delta Marina, 100 Marina Dr, Rio Vista, CA 94571
Harbormaster Lanka (707) 374-2315 Business hours or VM after.) to confirm OK parking prior to the May 1 launch date. They are OK with early arrival.
Bill is no longer the harbormastor, and Lanka told me "they were all getting it done".

Hi Harvey,
If you have not heard you may want to fill up on fuel before getting into California - we are over $4.00 per gal.

Thank you Steve. I'm at about a half tank and thought to wait to fill until I got down there to save carrying the fuel weight. Maybeeeee Not. Thanks for the heads up.
