Ah, that makes more sense. I missed the change of venue. If Jerry drives like he sails, Winchester Bay would be about a 5 hour drive! Sounds like a great sail, Mark. Are you going to be in the San Juans this year? I'll be there in June and again in September. On Sat, Apr 29, 2017 at 9:46 PM, Mark Dvorscak <mdvorscak56@gmail.com> wrote:
Two different places Larry. Jerry switched gears on us as he was reminiscing with John. The Don Carlos race is in Mexico, I do believe. The salmon fishing isn't too good right now, the commercial crabbing is winding down (although the recreational crabbing is still active). Fresh Dungeness and a stout sounds mighty good. I might just indulge myself! Sailing was pleasant today, the bar crossing was uneventful, the sun was shining, about a for foot swell running out of the west and the wind was steady. My best friend and sailing buddy, Ian, was with me and his wife had packed is a great lunch. It was a wonderful start to our sailing season. Mark Dvorscak

A three day drive from Sacramento to Winchester Bay? Isn't that only about a 500 mile trip? Traffic must really be horrible down there! Maybe I'm thinking about the wrong place, or else Jerry drives with a whole different mindset from when he's sailing. :-)

You're bring up some good memories for me, too, John. I was born and raised in W. OR, ad when I was a kid we used to go to Win Bay and fish, mostly for salmon but also other fish. Catching salmon was a thrill, but I also remember the ice cold water; our feet would get numb playing in the surf.
I also have vivid memories of my first Dan Carlos race; a bunch of us, including you, caravanned down. You had a Venture 17 (can't remember the name) and I had a M-17 flush deck. A great time! 'd love to do the race again, but it's just too far for me to tow a boat; a three day drive from here in Sacatomatoes. The lake Pleasant race is far enough!
The best to you! Stay out of the heat.

Mark, as I am in the yard trimming the Fan Palms here in sunny, windy Tucson, I am well aware that you are enjoying two of my favorite places: On deck of your own boat and at Winchester Bay. I remember a few years ago when Anne and I were at WB in our 5th wheel, you and your wife spent a very enjoyable afternoon with us.
We wish you a great sailing season. I don't remember if it currently 'tis the season', but if so, enjoy some of those dungeness crab and perhaps an Imperial Stout Ale as well.
