San Francisco Bay Oct 20-26, 2014

Post by Newell »

Having decided to live within the law for once (only) left the boat and large trailer home, now living in SF area with no boat. Getting a little bored with landside fun and would be able to crew, share or help with any sort of sailing activity. Let me know? :D

Catigale,

I didn't get any takers while in SF. I'm in NOLA watching Mardi Gras now and moving to Gulf Shores, AL next week. Have Fast Sunday in tow and plan to sail Mobile Bay area.
Will be going with the VYC to the Sacramento Delta I hope in late July and may stay awhile in Half Moon Bay. It would be great to meet up with any sailors, so keep posting and let's do it. :) :macx:

Haven't checked this board all summer. The VYC postponed the trip to Sacto area until 2016. Have sailed Utah Lake, Lake Powell and Lake Mead since leaving NOLA in June. Now back in South San Francisco but left Fast Sunday home. Getting cool here but there should be someone about that would like a crew. Give me a shout. 8) :macx:

Newell,

You might be the only person to sail on Utah Lake last summer. I bought my boat in June and it was already too low to launch. Fortunately, Strawberry is close enough to trailer to.

Tried our first launch and we were at the edge of the launch ramp and the boat was 6 inches above the waterline.

This is what the docs look like now...

If you make it back through, drop a note.

Don't know when you tried to launch on Utah Lake. The Bonneville Sailing Club held their annual race (used to be Utah Summer Games Keelboat Race) on June 7 and there were 15 boats and plenty of water. A boat like yours won the day, Windancer, my baby did a heck of job.

Your boat looks great, where did you find her? :wink:
