We spent last night on the boat as we are going to the Delta in less than two days (YEA!) so thought we’d get a couple of things done. One thing we really NEEDED to do was launch the dinghy, but the car was in the shop so we had no tow hitch so T…

The Slip is Waiting!
Saturday we had a few tasks to do on the boat. Matt fixed the depth and the speedo (loose wires), ran the wire to hook the auto pilot to the GPS (though we still need to connect it), futzed with the starboard alternator wiring (trying to figure o…
Last Weekend at Coyote Point!
Next Friday is the BIG DAY. We are taking the boat to the Delta again! This Saturday we plan to drive up and get our new slip all ready–set up the dock lines, put our stuff in the dock box, pay our slip fee, get our keys, all that good stu…

The Boat is Done!!
We are on the boat now, heading over to Alameda for the long weekend. Yea.

No photos yet–still have to upload from the camera. We took the boat to SF Boatworks on January 29th. Matt took the boat up with one of his work buddies and the buddy’s wife while I drove up in the car to meet them. I had a nice brea…
54 more days
We have our slip at Delta Bay Marina reserved starting in April! We wanted to go back to Willow Bern but we are too high for the old side and we don't want to pay for a 50' slip on the new side for our 35' boat. The smaller slips on the new…
