We're in Benicia. We went to Napa yesterday and caught some rough chop on the way back down in the afternoon. We're going to leave Benicia tomorrow morning and get to Rio Vista sometime in the AM. We'll be monitoring 16 and my number is 805 705 6202.

I'll have the wine chilled Laughing

Conrad, try giving me a call on VHF 16 or 69 after noon. If you have AIS receive capability, SleepyC and CHawk both are running active AIS. You should be able to find us with that. Joel and I were able to track each other up in the Delta out to about 6 miles.

There are 5 boats here on the water at RV Marina last night/this morning:
SleepyC
SeaSpray
C-Hawk
Sea3PO
Dora Jean, a 25

If anyone is willing to post some pictures to this thread, I will text them to you, (if that would work), [easier], or I can email also. Just can't get them from the phone to this site. Please call or text me. 509 eight three three 88 sixty-nine.

Unfortunately the FarCyr crew, (Floyd and Eicho), are not here and we miss the superb video capability. I will get some photos, just lack the technical ability and equipment to get them onto the C-BRAT site. Thanks in advance.

FYI, Anyone coming in this moening. Fill your tanks before you get launched. The marina is getting fuel delivery now. Glad I'm already filled - last night. Also , FYI Note. Do not use gas pump #2. It leaks around the handle. #1 is good. That makes only one servicable gas pump here.

Woke up this morning in the middle of a "C" of SeaDorys Wink Really. Sort of.

I'm with the Delta Extravaganza #17, at "The Duck Club". We are rafted, 3 wide, and 4 front to back. What a great way to wake up. What a super neat group. It is so fun to put faces to names and get to visit real people.

Weather has been great, and the fishing folk are bringing in some catch.

Great to get to meet you Steve, and I did pass on your greeting, and Sidney, to Jim, who remembered you immediately. Would have enjoyed cruising with you, and you're welcome on the ride. Glad to share.

AND WHA-WHO Exclamation Exclamation Exclamation Shocked Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy

Today I was able to fulfil a childhood dream. I took my boat (and yes it has a name) SleepyC out and under the "Gate". I'm told the conditions were perfect. It was a little bouncey, but that was just the spring in her step. My tour guides, John and Laurie on Slack Time and Paul and Al on No Limits were superb, and Jim and Kathy on Pounder picked the perfect day. We had some great photo ops, and .........

YES, we even had the timing perfect. We got to see the STP (I think thats the right name) trial races for the America's Cup. These are 50 foot boats, wing sails, hydrofoils, and the fly -- high and fast. I have watched Americaxs Cup since I was in college, by news paper, radio and TV, and today I got to see some of the real thing. What an awesome thrill. This trip has been a blast. WOW, it just could not have been a better day . . . well, yes, it could have. I have been buddy boating with Steve and Karen on SeaSpray for the last several days and they had to leave the group earlier today. They made it home safe and sound, but I did miss sharing such a bonus day with them.

Also, sorry that C Hawk had to leave also. Roger, hope you made it home safe and well also.

Docked in downtown San Francisco, wow is this differnt for a small town boy.

Harvey, I believe you saw the "practice day of Sail GP, nothing to do with the America's Cup.:
Quote:
2019 marks the debut of a new fan-centric grand prix racing championship, SailGP, in San Francisco. The City will play host to the second stop of the inaugural season of SailGP on Saturday, May 4 and Sunday, May 5. This exciting event will introduce U.S. audiences to a redefined form of sailing, which includes a redesigned and supercharged boat class, the F50.

Teams representing six nations—the United States, Australia, China, France, Great Britain, and Japan—will race on identical 50-foot foiling catamarans, known as the F50. The world's fastest, most technologically advance flying catamaran, the F50 is expected to break the 50-know (60mph/100kph) speed barrier....

After an official practice day on Friday, May 3 with all six teams,..

The F50 is a development, one-design class foiling catamaran, somewhat similar to the AC 50 America's Cup boats which raced in Bermuda in 2017. These boats are faster and have more sail area than the America's Cup cats.

The next America's Cup will be sailed in New Zealand in 2021. It will be in 75 foot foiling monohulls. Each boat will cost in excess of $10,000,000. The current holder of America's Cup is New Zealand, challengers are from (2) USA, Italy, Malta, Netherlands, and United Kingdom. There will be an America’s Cup World Series, which will be raced in venues the world in 2019 & 2020 in the AC75s.

There are two America's Cup challengers from the USA: New York YC, ("American Magic") who has established their practice base here in Pensacola, and sailing a 1/2 scale model of the race boat. The second USA challenge is from my original home base: Long Beach YC, Ca. and is "Stars and Strips". My understanding is that they do not have a trial boat. Both of the contenders boats are under construction currently for the races in New Zealand in 2021.

Hey Harvey, Glad you got that opportunity. I did also when I was on that cruise two years ago, although it was probably a bit rougher. Jim & Kath were the only other ones to do it then, and both Kath and Rosanne were plenty mad at Jim and I. lol. (I believe John tried to get some photos of us from a distance, but I believe all he could see was the top of our boat on a few wave crests... Not sure how far Jim got as he was a ways ahead of us, but I (as I promised Rosanne) went only as far and turned around underneath the Golden Gate Bridge. Shocked Colby

I'm sure I miss named the race. Now I've heard it is GNP or something. Japan, Australia, France, and USA, I remember. There were a couple of other countries also.

Walked much of the day, got as far as Pier 39, had F&C, and saw a small portion of SF. Hade a great time, mostly walking with Paul and his Dad, Al, a nice dinner at the South Bay Yacht Club, and lined up for an early start in the morning.

Byrdman, I will try and get a pix or 2 to you, but tomorrow we have a 4_6 hour run on the water, and then I have a 13 hour drive, plus cleaning the boat an trailer for the state line crossings. Will try if I can get some time.

For the Delta Extravaganza crew, it has been wonderful traveling with you. So interesting, and you all are great tour guides. Thank you so much.

Had a great time (as usual) on the trip. Sad to have had to leave early, but Pat was not feeling up to the long run to S.F.
When I got the truck from the storage lot in Rio Vista, the dash flashed and was reading "ATTEMPTED THEFT" --- check the truck and trailer, saw no damage. I let the Management know.
It was great meeting Harvey (Sleep-C), Paul and Al (No Limits), Conrad, Katie and Matti (Kanaloa) as well as seeing the rest of the group.

Thanks Mike. I will try, but I have some chores to do yet.

Wow, what a great trip. Really nice to get to meet everyone. Made it home last night. Had a much to brief visit with Sea Wold Joe in Redding, and then made it to the 7 Feathers Casino (MP99 in Southern Oregon) for the night. Left there at 07, did some errands in Portland OR, and was home with all the landing chores done by 2100.

Hey, I loved the boat ride. You all went all out to really provide me with the total experience. Thank you so much. Lots of new number one experiences.

Under the "Gate" has to top the list. Staying at a Duck Club, Rafting 3 wide and 4 long, Seeing the Wing boats up on one hull at 50? mph, launch and retrieve at a dog leg dock, drive onto my trailer, and ride up behind my truck. It was all so good.

Thanks again to each one for making is such a great trip. The tour guides, the photos, the help on the dock; You all are great.

It was amazing meeting you all. Sorry we couldn't stay for longer, but it sounds like you all had a blast in the central bay. We definitely packed them in tight at the duck club.

Thanks to everyone for coming on our 17th Annual Delta and Bay Extravaganza. We are happy that all made the trip safely. Kath and I had another good time and we still look forward to our 18th event next year, health willing.

We had a fantastic group this year and we enjoyed everyone's company. John and Robbin did another amazing job hosting Wednesday’s over the top formal Wheeler Island Duck Club dinner.

Kath treated us to a nice bacon and egg breakfast on Thursday. Thanks to everyone for their pot luck contributions on Thursday night and Friday morning. The fresh Stripped Bass and Hamburger dinner on Thursday night turned out pretty good.

SEA3PO, Dora-Jean, Slack Time, C-Hawk, Blue Eagle, and Sea Spray – thank you all for your longstanding loyalty to this event. Susan on SEA3PO made a huge effort to attend this entire event given the recent serious health challenges she experienced.

We were also thrilled to have three new comers this year: No Limits, Sleepy-C, and Kanaloa.

I think we set some sort of record this year by having a true Millennial come visit us old folks at this event. Conrad with his wife Katie and daughter Madison showed up on the nicest C-Dory of the bunch, Kanaloa.

It was touching to have another relatively young guy, Paul show up on No Limits with his father Al. Finally, Harvey on Sleepy-C came all the way from Washington State. I think this is the first time someone from Washington State has come down.

Eight of the eleven boats made it to San Francisco from the Duck Club. The weather was beautiful in the City.

This year was different in that we stayed two days at the Duck Club and two days at San Francisco. We skipped Petaluma and Sausalito this year. Many enjoyed this new format.

John (Dinner Belle II) arranged for us to go guided fishing on Thursday. I was lucky to catch a 39-inch Sturgeon with great help from the guide, but we had to release it because it was one inch too short of the 40-inch slot limit.

We are appreciative to all who put in the time and energy to join us on this adventure. This is an event where everyone truly contributes.

I initiated this event when I was 53 years old and my boat was just four years old. I am now 70 years old and my boat is 21 years old. My 21-year-old engine has a carburetor with 700 hours. So, I do not know what will crap out first, me or my C-Cory.

We hope to see many of you and perhaps some other newbies next year at the same event!

Jim & Kath
