A Fun Cruise To Napa

The Point Weber and Siren Song crews headed up the Napa River for the anual Napa Bridge & Ball / Mini-Regatta. The crew got a chance to work on some regatta skills during the day, then, after a nice dinner provided by the Chaser, we all cleaned up headed for the evening festivities. The Bridge went off withour a hitch and the dance was very unique and a heck of alot of fun.

As soon as I get some pics, I'll get them posted to the gallery.

Long Cruise 2008

This years summer cruise went off in true Sea Scout fashion with lots of fun, fellowship, training and service.

We started the week with a stop at California Maritime Academy. The crew got a tour of the campus and we took a group of students from their summer program on a short cruise up the river to see the ships in the mothball fleet. Thanks to Robert and the Academy for their hospitality, berthing and good meals in the mess hall.

Then it was on to S.F. Bay on Sunday morning. We found a nice place off Angel Island to drop a hook and spend the night fishing. The fishing was fair, mostly sharks but the best catch was probably while pulling up our anchor Monday morning. We set one, and pulled up two!!!

Monday we were off to the S.F. Fire Boat Station for a tour of the fire boats and station and then a ride on one of the fire boats. After our tour we were off to the S.F. Sea Base at Aquatic Park. Monday evening we hopped a bus for the Queen Anne Hotel and a ghost hunt tour in the hotel and surrounding neighborhood in Pacific Heights.

Tuesday was training and project day. Mr. Hammack had the crew performing fire, man overboard, collision, and abandon ship drills along with work on deck procedures for tieing and untieing the boat and setting and weighing anchor, while the rest of the officers on board made some needed minor repairs and adjustments to systems on the boat. Tuesday afternoon was liberty for the crew and officers around the wharf area of S.F.

Wednesday was a day for getting some laundry done and replenishing the perishables for the galley before the Tall Ship Parade. After we watched the parade go past Aquatic Park, we got underway for a fuel stop and pump out, then on to Angel Island.

Thursday morning the crew went off to perform service for Angel Island by cleaning one of the beaches of its litter and trash and then liberty on the island for the rest of the day, and a little more fishing.

Friday morning was early reveley to get under way to Pier 38 and tours of the Coast Guard Barge Eagle and Tall Ship Bounty. The Eagle is magnificent ship, 295 foot square rigged, used by the Coast Guard primarily for officer and leadership training. The Bounty is a hollywood mock-up of an 18th century pirate ship featured in many movies including Mutiny on the Bounty, Pirates I nd II, the Sponge Bob movie and many others. After lunch it was off to the Delta and home.

I, The Skipper, would like to commend the crew and officers for a great cruise. All performed above expectations and special cudos to Tyler, our Bos'n, for a fantastic job running the crew. Your leadership skills were tested throughout the cruise and you came through every time. Thanks to Tim and the engineering crew for keeping the boats systems performing without a hitch all week long. All hands deserve a big pat on the back for handling deck operations safely and effectively. A cruise without major incident or injury is a successful cruise, and this cruise was a resounding success!

Special thanks go out to the officers on this cruise. We couldn't have pulled it off without the special efforts of all officers on board. Mr. Hammack for his special ability to work with, and train, the crew. Mr Erickson for a superb job as deck officer and much appreciated help in the galley, and Mr. Reinhardt for his boating experience and always positive attitude. Special thanks to all for making the Skipper look good. I could not have done it without you!!!

They all did a great job and as the pics will show, everyone had a great time.

The day was capped off with a Quartermaster Bridge after the Dress Blue Inspection and then the social activities started. Monday morning we were underway again for the cruise home. We stopped along the way in Antioch at the River View restaurant for lunch and then on to Stockton.
