Delta Days Reminder

Hear Ye, Hear Ye....

Thought we should start out old fashioned since our Delta Cruise is very old fashioned. We will gather on Saturday, July 19 in Horseshoe Bend on Decker Island. If you leave OYC dock early (8:30-9:00) you should catch a good flood and be with us at Decker by mid-afternoon. We will have an afternoon get-acquainted party, pass out information for various stops, and review equipment to make sure everyone is set. Our last day will be Saturday, July 26. If you leave the cruise around 1000 hours you should be able to reach Oakland by dinner.

If you notice, we are not including great detail as we don't have a boat count yet. Our stops could include Potato Slough, Mildred Lake, Devils Isle and Three River Reach. We will send the agenda as soon as we close signups. Please register at the club office no later than July 2. You can call or email us if you can't make it in.

We will be able to provide charging from our 15kW generator if you have the cords and plugs to fit Simplex inputs. You will need a dinghy with outboard and a good anchor with chain. Remember, the more chain the better. Be sure to start with full gas can for your outboard as well as diesel for auxiliary engine. Delta fuel is very expensive. Be sure your VHF is in running condition.

We will spend our nights "on the hook." If you are concerned about anchoring or have had problems anchoring, we will be standing by to assist. Our activities will include a dinghy regatta, a kite flying contest, a chili cook off, and the boys "puu puu" contest. We look forward to having you with us on the river.

Stay warm and think about a summer in the Delta.
Best wishes,
Jim & Diana Jessie
