We can have a radio or not on our boats. But if you have one you must keep it on channel 16. My wife and I where at San Francisco Cow Pallace for the boat show 1/25. We thought of stopping by some of the Marinas. But sence we did not know where they are and if we could even get into the marinas we went strait home. We are planing our summer vacation and was talking about doing the Delta, bay area. But again we do not know where to go yet. We may try it next year. Maybe we will do a weekend soon. How is the summers in the Bay and Delta? Is it hot as it is here in the valley? Does your club have a web sight? I have fould some sight on the net. Can you give me your net address again. I have seem to have lost it. Gordon PS There is going to be a Sail Boat Show in April from the 23 to the 27 at Jack London Sq. Maybe my wife and I can visit your area while we are up there. ...

Usually I am sailing in european water, but at the moment there seems to be a possibility to do a sailing trip from Seattle to Vancouver and Prince Ruppert in Juli. We have approx. 3 weeks for the voyage. Is this enough or is it an area where you often have to expect to wait in harbour for better wetter? Which towns and places are a "must"? Will there be any interesting events in Juli? Any hints will be welcome, TNX!

Hmmmm..... If hull speed were proportional to square of WL length, at least the cost of better cruising speed would be more affordable.
