15 May On the California Delta Post Script to Friday 13th cruise
Upon arrival at the Delta Marina in Rio Vista, our captains and crews met on the patio dock for snacks and libations before heading to The Point Restaurant for a delicious dinner. Following much socialization everyone tumbled into their respective bunks for a well deserved rest.
As the roosters crowed, Saturday morning started with little fanfare except the howling winds. Good fortune was on the way, the winds were to calm and almost cease before noon. In the interim, we had a wonderful potluck breakfast on the docks. With deck chairs lined up against the perimeter of the dock, people enjoyed their food selections as the sun broke through the clouds. Was it the sun that warmed everyone or the delicious custom made bloody Mary’s and crisp champagne?
Our afternoon was glorious. Many members of IOBG/IOBGA district 19 began arriving around noon. We met at The Patio and adjacent lawn area for beverages and snacks. Following several hours of socialization, Julia and her crew had dinner ready for all. There was so much food that people not only had seconds, but they took food home, too.
The crowds dwindled as evening drew near and and the shadows of evening fell. The remaining contingent of good humored companions continued their merriment until the last finally hit the sack.
Buzzzzzzzz! Time to get up and have another wonderful day on the California Delta. After showers, coffee, and a brief look at e-mails, we joined the remaining members who boated in on Friday for breakfast at The Point courtesy of our leaders Sandee and Zane. Every thing was delicious and everyone left the restaurant full and happy.
No time for a post-meal nap, though. It is time to get the boats ready to leave the marina and head home. All of the remaining 5 boats were promptly ready to depart the marina and meet up at the 3 mile slough bridge for opening. After passing under the bridge and through the slough, each captain deterred their respective course for home port.
Another successful cruise completed in and on the glorious California Delta.
Smooth sailing!
