I am bringing this site back to the top for John and Laurie. They are currently traveling in Indonesia as part of an extended trip to Oceania. We would hope to get some more attendance for this great gathering.

Almost forgot, Colby, you win an award for being a good communicator with all the C-Brats of the world. Jim

Hi Colby. We sure missed you this year. Sean and Maddy on NautiCat, per your recommendation, won an award for the most enthusiastic participants. Good observation Colby. Yes, we came into the duck club backwards with our boats on the Starboard side of the docks. Reason being, the river side...

Jim & Cindi with their big TomCat, Morningstar, are moving to Roseville from Florida. Unfortunately they will not make it out here until May 2024, so they cannot attend the 2024 Extravaganza. Because one of the original 10 boats had to drop out due to family health concerns, we have room for...

Jim & Cindi on Morning Star. You are hereby invited to come to the 2024 Delta and Bay Extravaganza, being the first, and only one, on the waiting list. I know that this is very late in the game, but I just heard of the dropout this morning. If by any extreme chance you can make it, please...

Erdem on Octopus. Too bad Deborah will miss the Banquet dinner at the Duck Club. I understand working. Good she is coming for some. Jim on M/V Pounder

I have now received checks from everybody for the Marina fees in San Francisco. Thank you to all for this follow-up. I appreciate it. I will cash the checks soon as I have already prepaid our Marina fees. I will let everyone know their berth number at SF South Bay Marina on Friday, April 26th...

Herein is the final itinerary for our 20th Annual, Delta/Bay Extravaganza, 2024 C-Dory event. Our schedule will be two days at the Duck Club and two days at San Francisco South Beach Marina. (Petaluma is too silted and Sausalito is too hard to get a spot on the dock reserved.) The SF Marina...
