and Greg did a great job of writing it all up.

Here's the Event Calendar for 2000. Some of the dates need to be confirmed,
but I thought you'd like to mark your calendars! Many of the events will
work for daysailing if you can't stay overnight. Additional Daysailing
events will be added to the calendar in the future. Dory Taylor will be
publishing an additional schedule of Daysails tailored specially for
P15-ers.
Details on parking, slip fees, etc will be published soon.
THESE ARE PRELIMINARY PLANS, SUBJECT TO CHANGE. DETAILS WILL FOLLOW!
Feb 26-27: Oakland Estuary & SF Bay - The Oakland Estuary is a great place
for both new and experienced skippers.
Launch at 9 am from Grand Av ramp in Alameda .
Saturday: Daysailing on the estuary for newer skippers. Experienced
skippers will head to Ballena Bay in Alameda for lunch at the Whales Tail
restaurant. Overnight at the Marina Village Yacht Harbor, across from Jack
London Square. Dinner at London Square on the opposite side of the Estuary
or dine on your yacht. (The guest docks at Jack London Square should be
operational by then).
Daysailing on Sunday, with morning practice session on "heaving to" taught
by Jerry Barrilleaux on the estuary. Depending on wind direction,
experienced skippers may make the short trip to Clipper Cove, between
Treasure Is. and Yerba Buena Is. There's a beautiful, sheltered sandy beach
there. It's also a great place to practice anchoring.
March 11-12 Brunos Island in the heart of the Delta
Launch at B&W Marina at 9 am and sail 5 miles up to Bruno's Island.
Bruno's is a comfy marina with slips and RV parking. Barbeque in the picnic
ground on Saturday night. Explore the Delta Saturday and Sunday. P15's can
launch from Bruno's ramp.
April 22-23 Millerton Lake
In the Sierra National Forest. Lake sailing, marina slips, camping
available.
May 6-7 Stockton on the Delta - Annual Ditch Run
We will be launching at Buckley Cove. Our annual "Ditch Run" to Windmill
Cove is a very informal 3 1/2 mile upwind race to the cove. We will be
staying the night at Windmill Cove or Lost Isle, or in the anchorage across
the channel. We might take a side trip to Herman and Helens Restaurant for
lunch on Sunday, it's about eight miles upriver from Windmill cove. If you
can't make it both days, make it a daysail.
May 21 Salt and Pepper Day Sail, Oakland Estuary
June 3-4 Woodward Reservoir in Oakley
Beautiful reservoir with camping factilities. An annual tradition.
Pot-luck Barbeque Saturday night.
July 15-16 2nd Annual SCA Cruiser Challenge, Oakland Estuary.
August 12-13 Lake Tahoe (tentative date)
Sept 9-10: Richmond Marina on SF Bay to Loch Lomand (San Rafael) and Angel
Island.
Launch at Richmond Marina at 9 am. Expereinced skippers can leave early
Saturday to sail approx 6 nautical miles to Loch Lomand Marina in San Rafael
on San Pablo Bay, exploring the town at lunch time, dine at the Fo'csle
Restaurant. Timing the tides is essential, or else you'll be running
aground as you head into Loch Lomand. Navigational care is required to stay
in the channel too. We'll beating home against the wind but with the
current. New skippers can sail inside Richmond Harbor, a great place to
practice sailing skills. This is a neap tide, so it's one of the best
weekends of the summer to head to Loch Lomand.
Sunday, daysail to Angel Island for lunch. in Ayala Cove. Hiking, tours on
the State Park on the island.
If you can't make it for the whole weekend, make it a daysail.
October 7-8 Monterey Bay.
One of the most gorgeous places the PY club has ever gone. Lots of night
life and restaurants in Monterey.
Nov 4-5 Richmond Marina, SF Bay
Judy Blumhorst, Commodore, Potter Yachters.
