Thank you Larry- I think I've got the problem controlled.

I keep a boat at Freeport marina and I use the small ramp at Garcia Bend Park. 8 dollars all day. The River has continued to get lower week after week. I drove the C-Dory, (powered) to the ramp and not too bad with the 4x4 drive engaged. There was a little dry silt at the lower end but slow and steady got it done. Boat and trailer, about 4,000 lbs. To Jerry...I sold my M-15 to a real sailor in the Ventura, CA. He was happy. I was happy for him. Hope he gets lots of use out of old 189. 1981 build by you, Jerry. Thanks for a great little boat. ------Larry Hughston in Sacramento On Wednesday, August 6, 2014 2:10 PM, jerry montgomery <jerry@jerrymontgomery.org> wrote: Neil- I just got back from the Lake Wash club- they have two ramps, and the big one is deep enough for keelboats- a good-looking gal who talked to me said they launch Santana 20s there with no problem. So you have no more excuses. Wind is forecast to be about 8 knots- light for there.

I don't think you can get to another ramp, but I'll find out today.

Does one of the other marinas in Sacramento or West Sacramento have a good boat ramp? I saw that there are ramps at Miller Park, and Broderick but I haven't been to them.

Jerry: I went out to a LWSC "Open House" at Lake Washington basin a few years ago and decided that the launch ramp there is just too sketchy (my personal opinion) to launch my m15 there. They do have a hoist, but it is rated at something like 700lbs max.
With that said, it is very doable for the Potter 15 crowd to join in, but TwoCan is too heavy for the hoist and I ain't going anywhere near that ramp. Which leaves only one option: overnight on the boat and motor the 30 miles back the following day.
All-in-all I have decided each year to pass on this one.
Now, maybe in a Sage 15 someday...well, that might just be a whole different animal ;-)
