Hey Doo Dah'ers - the fun starts a month from Friday!

[iliohale]

Hey Hapa,

Good question, I don't recall seeing a sandy beach in Potato, it is pretty much all dikes and marsh islands. In Bedroom two there is a dock with a small club house of some kind, I have never seen anyone there. You can dinghy around the corner to the Lighthouse, looks like there may be room for the kids to run around. I took a look at Google Earth to see if I could find something but the only sand I could see is Peter's favorite spot on Franks. Someone else may know of one.

Hey Hapa and Everyone,

I got a little secret for  y'all....at low tide there is a great beach at the mouth of the Mukolumne River. It's on the last islet and you have to approach from the Mukolumne side.

I would advise against taking the big boats too close, but you can anchor with 100 ft of the islet on the North side.

Peter,

I see that beach on Google earth, looks like an easy landing with a dinghy. Do you know what the dock and club house is all about in Bedroom 2?

It's Fig Island, I believe, and the owner has hosted RICHMOND YC's 4th of July parties there. 

Last year our friend Harley Gee (Taproom) was scarce. He knows more about it. I'll shoot off a query.

Georgia found a little island last year.  It is less submerged at low tide.

By any chance is anyone bringing one of these on the Doo Dah:

Wow, that looks really dangerous.

That would put you on the winning end of a water fight in short order!

Can I change the name of this topic to "the fun starts a week from tomorrow"? It is coming fast. We loaded 6 cases of drinks & beer on the boat yesterday and we have started to check things off our check list of stuff. Toilet paper - check; 12v phone charger - check; sky chair - check; and on it goes. A floating Club Med it is.

Yes, a week and counting down. I'm out east right now where it's a 100 degrees (and feels like a 100% percent humidity). Can't wait to get back to California, get the boat ready, and take a dip in the Delta. We are loaded with water guns and water toys...looking forward to a great week.
