Richmond-Angel Island Tune-up Sail Feb 6-9, 2026

[gwhiz]

We'll be launching Saturday morning and pulling out earlyish on Sunday to make the drive home. At least, that's the grand plan.

Glad you can make it, I think there's a Super Bowl Crowd thinking along the same lines.

It costs $12.50 to park and launch for the day at Marina Bay, and $25 to launch and park for two days. You will need a credit card for the iron ranger. 

Hopefully you're right, but if I recall, their prices are now $17 per day to park and $26 per night minimum for guest docking.

Sorry to miss you. Officially, I think Eric is the coordinator, George is assisting... Me? I'm definitely not hosting the trip--I'm the self-appointed calendar editor this year, Phil was happy to get some help with it (so far).

For this trip, I wrote up what I find myself trying to put together before every trip--exactly where to drive and park; URLs and phone numbers for reservations; some useful waypoints on the water. By adding details to the calendar event, it's auto-magically on the phone of anyone who subscribes to the PY calendar without having to look for a newsletter PDF the night before (or after missing a turn on the way to Lake San Antonio last October)... [end of sales pitch, how am I doing?]

Good luck with your ghost work.

As usual for me, I led with criticism.  🙄

But I think that collection of needed info in one place about the event will turn out to be very valuable 😎

Criticism? I thought it was envy!

I hope so, for some reason the formatting on an iPhone shows the raw HTML instead of the nicely formatted text shown in the Google Calendar app or a browser. It only happens sometimes and, of course, it's happening now after I made my final edits. If anyone savvy knows what the deal is and how to fix, please let me know...

Meanwhile, we have four boats in the water: Tony and his P 19 from Rio Vista showed up along with Tony's nephew, Nick about 1.

We started to sail aroun 2:30 as the high tide about peaked; the wind was a sweet 5 kn (maybe) initially and then it just died in the Reach and beyond...

I got to break in my new Yamaha 2.5...

Jim Hunt and Alan showed up, we pretended to help them rig, and then we all had a nice Italian dinner.
