Old Salt's Regatta &Cruise

The Delta Alliance cruised to Redwood City for competition in Old Salt's Regatta and did really well. We scored a sloop with Matt & Jeremiah taking third place in sailing practical. On the cruise home we got watch the Golden Bear, a training ship from California Maritime Academy, do some training exercises in the bay. Quartermaster Monique Watanabe from the Siren Song was onboard the Bear and headed to sea for 2 months of training. As soon as I get some pics, I'll get them up in the gallery.


Sea Farer's Regatta

The Point Weber cruised in to Martinez for Sea Farer's' Regatta with the Delta Alliance regatta team on board. The first regatta of the year proved the team has really come together and took 2nd place in the mystery event and placed 3rd in rope climb. The team competed in all events except marlinspike, ran out of time, and did pretty well in most events. Now we're gearing up for Old Salt's next month. As soon as I get them, some pics will go up in the gallery.


Stockton Yacht Club Crab Feed

Scouts from the Point Weber and Siren Song served up a great crab dinner to 100 members and guests of the yach club. We'd like to thank the club for the chance to serve and collect some extra cash for the scout accounts.


Stockton Firefighters Crab Feed

Scouts from the Point Weber, Siren Song, Tuolumne, and Troop 295 helped serve the dinner to support the local firefighters annual crab feed feed. 23 scouts provided top notch service to those who supported the event by serving up a great meal of crab, pasta, salad and bread. Besides being a great community service project, this is also a fundraiser for the scouts. The scouts collect tips from the diners for their quality service. The money earned will used throughout the year for scouting program needs.


Christmas Tree Pick Up

Crews from the Point Weber and Siren Song helped with the 49er District's annual Christmas tree Pick Up. We spent the day unloading trucks and trailers at the Waste Management Recycling Center. Cub Scout packs and Boy Scout troops canvassed the Lodi area picking up Christmas trees and hauling them to the center where they will be recycled for mulch and used for fish habitat in area lakes. Check the gallery for pics of our scouts "hard at work".


A Fun Cruise To Napa

The Point Weber and Siren Song crews headed up the Napa River for the annual 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 without a hitch and the dance was very unique and a heck of allot of fun.

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



A Great Cruise To YBI

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 reveille 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 kudos 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!!!
