July 4th Benicia Cruise

Friday - Sunday, July 3 - 5, 2015



This is a great fleet sailing opportunity. And a very fun way to spend July 4th weeked.

We will have a building flood tide with us for the 25 miles to Benicia. At 6 knots over the bottm (or faster!), it's only about 4 hours, which should get us up to Benicia about 1500, plenty of time to settle in before a) dinner at Benicia YC, or b) bring our potluck up to BYC and use their deck & grill.

But, the big draw is an invitation to dinner Saturday at Rob & Ruby Blenderman's house - just a nice walk, or short car ride, from the marina. You don't want to miss a chance to see their fantastic, creative house! You can bring an appetizer to share if you like. Plan arrival at their house about 5:30.

Then we'll head back to the dock and shoreline to enjoy the July 4th fireworks.

Details:

We'll aim for a fleet gathering at the north end of Treasure Island at 1100 hours Friday morning July 3rd and sail up together. Monitor channel 72 to stay in touch, or report in to the fleet if you are ahead or behind the 1100 start.

Those in the South Bay may want to bring their boat up to Emeryville for an informal potluck Thursday night so they can get a good night's sleep before Friday morning.

Return to the Bay on Sunday with a fast ride on a 3.4 knot ebb at 0932, or use this as a jumping off point for a week-long Delta cruise.

We have limited dock space available, so if you want to go, get your reservation in early!
