July 4th Cruise to Napa Here's a great one! Cruise up the Napa River to the wonderful house and 80' dock where Tim, Rhonda and Ian Shea will welcome us for a weekend of fun, swimming in their pool, relaxing on their deck and enjoying Napa's fireworks. Plus, there downtown Napa to prowl and a parade too. Now that T&R have moved on to a bigger boat, this may be the last Napa cruise for a while, so don't miss this one - especially if you haven't done one before. This is a real treat. Napa Cruise Details & Reservation Form.

While you're marking your calendar, be sure to plan on September 11-13 for the 3rd All Islander Rendezvous and Fun Race. As you can see, we've got a great new logo from Pandora (who, lucky girl, is off sailing the South Pacific!), that means we've got great T Shirts for you. Be sure to order yours early while we have a good supply - orders received before the Napa Cruise will be delivered at Napa. All Islander Information & Reservation Form.

South Beach Cruise
Season's Race
Giants/A's Game		 Great Weekend!: 154 Islander 36s (if you count Because as an I-36!),made for a great cruise to South Beach, complete with a Season's Championship race and a Giants / Athletics baseball game. Here's 137 pictures and a movie to show off the South Beach Cruise.

Racing Standings Two races on June 20th brought a familiar leader to the fleet. Captain Hooke, Pacific High, and Tenacious are all tied with 8 points, but Hooke wins the tie-breaker, with Pacific High in second. Windwalker is just one point back, and Luna Sea is positioned for annother edition of "View From The Rear." (Sorry, Dan.) Season's Championship & Spinnaker Cup Race Standings.

Vallejo Race		 Vallejo Race:The great Vallejo Race kicked off the racing season with lots of fun. Light winds, adverse current and a bit of rain didn't dampen the competition as Cassiopeia and Captain Hooke ground down Diana's half mile lead to place 1, 2 & 3 in the opener. Lots of fun was had by all. Vallejo Race.

Picture of the Month:The beautiful waters of Puget Sound and the Gulf Islands float our June picture. That's Steve & Sally Olsen's Emeraude, with a home port of Bainbridge Island, WA, Puget Sound, enroute to Bedwell Harbor in the Canadian Gulf Islands. We always need more pictures, so limber up your digital camera for some great Islander pictures, here's how.

Wonder what an Islander can take? Here's a chance to follow one around the world as Zac Sunderland attempts to become the youngest solo circumnavigator aboard an Islander 36: http://www.zacsunderland.com/index.html He is already past Australia at Cocos Keeling Island in the Indian Ocean.
