We would love to join cruise. Would be our first with the new boat. Would need to figure out work schedule.

I'm getting concerned. All the momentum seems to have been lost in this thread and I'm really anxious to see this trip happen.

Mark, you've got a great plan going there.

I'm no organizer but I'm sure going to be a participant.

It's still on for me too

Sorry about that guys (and gals). Some real-life events got my attention, and I've not been on the boards for a few weeks. I'll try to make it a point to drop in and say, "Hi," more often. Perhaps even hoist a pint or two in the new Mac Pub.

Others have stated that you can't get one chart for the entire cruise. That is not entirely accurate. The small craft (strip) chart 18652 covers the entire cruising ground. It is not a large chart, and is very convenient to store and use on a Mac. Of course, the Yachtsman's and MapTech chart kits will certainly include the area as well, and make a good source of, "Let's go <HERE> next year," discussions.

Let me make a few phone calls in the next few days to make sure all points on our itinerary are still available to us. Watch for more information soon.

I keep my boat in water at Redwood City and I am sort of with Frank C. I would be interested in joining in on fri 7/28.

Because I am so far south, my preference would be do the tour from horseshoe bay to Pier 39 to Alameda/Jack London Square (not necessarily in that order) and head home on Sun.

I realize this is a strong diversion from the plan, but given my location this is the only practical option for me. Hopefully its practical with everyone else.

I am definately in. I may even have convinced my son to crew saying that I am so old I may just take the wronge turn and sail away... with the location and the combination to the family safe.
I have Bob and Carol's Cruising Guide and need only to know where in the world Lauritzen's Yacht Harbor is and how do you get there coming up from the Central Coast????

Lauritzen's Yacht Harbor is in Antioch, right beneath the Antioch bridge. Real nice people.

My non-boating life has been getting in the way, but I think we can still pull this off. The one marina that is going to be the most likely to cause us problems is Pier 39. This is a very popular destination, so if you are planning to attend, you should get your reservations in as soon as you can.

I called Pier 39 yesterday and after being able to speak with a live person, they said they are still closed for dredging.
