LATE BREAKING UPDATE:

I’ve waited to see if the forecast might improve, and it’s a bit better, but not good enough. While others may be out there, we won’t be. Rain and winds of 22 gusting 30 is not a recipe for a good time…and a low tide at 5pm when we return to the cove sealed the deal.

For reasons of weather and low participation, the TIYC Opening Day on the Bay cruise is hereby cancelled.

Sunday is a good day to stay home and watch sailing channel.

We’ll try again soon.

Hi,
Opening Day is less than a week away (Sunday, April 27, 2014).

Instead of doing the parade, we will participate in the blessing of the fleet in racoon straight (Corinthian YC) then cruise over to Sausalito to enjoy the afternoon wandering downtown.

9:30 Meet at the club
10:30 cruise to CYC (Raccoon Straight)
See the chart PICYA-fleet_bless_chart
See the CYC Flyer for the weekend here
Opening Day on the Bay Weekend _ Corinthian Yacht Club
11:00 – 12:30 Blessing of the Fleet (pass by the USS Potomac)
Noon high tide +5.4
12:00 Sausalito
3:30 head home
5:15 low tide +1.1

Should be a cool and refreshing day after several days of rain.

Bringing your boat? Please check in with me. 510-589-7410

Thanks,
Bill Smith

Protecting Water Supplies and Delta Water Quality with Emergency Drought Barriers

The California Department of Water Resources is planning to completely block False River (the short cut around Frank’s Tract) in the delta with a “temporary” emergency drought barrier to limit salt water intrusion by May 1, 2014.

For more details see their drought barrier fact sheet by following the link below:
