I made a reservation today at the Antioch Marina. They use Dockwa to manage their reservations.

Looks like there is no room at the Delta Marina. Looking into alternatives.

I'm wrangling kids Saturday, but we're hoping to sail down to meet you on the way back Sunday on the Core Sound.

I will arrive Saturday morning.  I might show up Friday night and stay on the boat until Friday morning (if that is allowed).  I also called Delta Marina and they are full.

Call Delta Marina around 4 PM Thursday. Mention a small sailboat and docking on the backside of the fuel dock. Had this issue last year and it all worked out. We have now set a record for this sail and the number of boats. Go Potters!!!

Last call. Opportunity of a life time. Captain's briefing and charts distributed 9:45 AM, Saturday, June 27th, Rio Vista City dock. Planned sail departure 10:30 AM from Rio Vista City dock area. Critical is the bridge lift at 10:45 AM at Three Mile Slough bridge. Cat's Meow will be making the call on channel 9 for the bridge lift.  The Delta is bursting at the seams with holiday travelers and boaters for the three day Memorial Day weekend. Having to raise and lower the Three Mile Slough more than once is not a good thing. Last minute information 707-628-9987. Wishing all a great and memorial weekend.
