 Trader Vic's |
Trader Vic's Revisited Way back in 2012 the Islander Fleet had a cruise into Emery Covy sponsored by Pat and Gary Salvo. (Here's a link to our story on the web site: Emery Cove Cruise, Memorial Day 2012. Well Robert DaPrato decided to do it again on Friday night, 6/7/24.

 Vallejo Race |
Vallejo Race 5/4-5/24 Six intrepid Islanders survived the worst Vallejo Race weather in mnay years! A strong cold front blew through the starting area just as racing was getting under way, and then winds increased after the front as boats made their way up San Pablo Bay to the Napa River and the finish line off the Vallejo Yacht Club. It was cold too, just above 50 degrees. So in total we had, by best count, 29 people representing 10 Islander 36s. That's 6 boats that raced, plus Jonesque Jones (Peter Kacandes) and Vanishing Animal (Rick & Sandy Van Mell) who drove up, and White Horses, with Rob Blenderman crewing aboard Bella Luna and Ruby Wallis and Maria Santiago driving in to support Bella Luna, and David Book - Hangover - crewing on Cali.

 Opening Day |
Opening Day 4/28/24 Thanks to Commodore Egan's valiant efforts, one by one we had interest build, then fade as the sunny forecast got a little dicey for the Opening Day On The Bay Parade on Sunday, April 28th. But it turned out to be a nice day and a few good pics, including the fireboat shoot ing water. To read the story and see the pics, click Opening Day 4/28/24. |
 Spring Meeting |
Spring Meeting 3/16/24 A picture perfect spring day with bright sunshine and 15 + knot westerlies greeted our Islander 36 Association members for our Spring Meeting at Richmond Yacht Club. We had 32 people representing 18 boats that gathered for the fun and to hear Kame Richards' presentation on reading tides and currents on San Francisco Bay. To read the story and see the pics, click Spring Meeting 3/18/24. |
 3 Bridge Fiasco |
3 Bridge Fiasco January 27, 2024 For this year's 3 Bridge Fiasco the wind was better than predicted, until it wasn't. Three I36's showed up; Renaissance of Tahoe, Kapai and us, Luna Sea. Cassiopeia also signed up, but Kit slipped and broke a couple of ribs, so he wasn't in shape to race. Here's the story and some pics: 3 Bridge Fiasco 1/27/24 |
 'Round Alameda |
'Round Alameda January 1, 2024 Rinse and Repeat! Just like last year it rained like crazy on 12/31, but the 1st was glorious. 19 Folks aboard 4 Islanders representing 7 Islanders in total enjoyed a beautiful, sunny 6o degree day with little wind in the Estuary. What's remarkable is that three of the four boats also had an I-36 skipper aboard. Commodore Rick Egan (Kapai) had Rick and Sandy Van Mell (Vanishing Animal) aboard; Luna Sea had Ruby & Rob Blenderman (White Horses) aboard, Cassiopeia had Barney Brickner (Barnacle) aboard, and crew Anne Dompe also has her own 27' boat at Alameda (we like her just as much as if it was also an Islander.) Follow the fun: 'Round Alameda Parade 1/1/24 |
