Date Location Details
Tues Jan 1 'Round Alameda Parade This fun annual event is a chance to get on the waster and kick off the New Year with a blast. All are invited to stop at various yacht clubs around Alameda Island to sample their offerings of chili, Bloody Marys and Gin Fizzes. This year the tide is much more cooperative with high tide of 5.2 feet occuring about 1330. We need that much to get out around the island for those that want to go all the way around. A great Islander gathering place is 10:00 am at either Marina village - Gate 8 - or Encinal YC. We typically stand watch on channel 72 to stay in touch. This is great fun if the weather cooperates (or play Groundhog if it's bad!)

Sat. Mar 23 Spring Meeting at Golden Gate Yacht Club Here's the spot to get a jump on the new season. Sail on over Friday night, get a good night's sleep and be ready when the fun begins Saturday morning. The Spring Meeting will cover the Race and Cruise programs for 2013. Docking is $1/foot/night.
Coordinator: Ruby Blenderman

Sat. Apr 6 Racing/Sail Trim Clinic Island Yacht Club - change of locaiton!; Coordinator Kit Wiegman. Directions: http://www.iyc.org/contact.html

Fri -Sun. Apr 26-28? Encinal Cruise & Svendsen's Night on 4/27 5:00 pm It's always fun to gather at Encinal's spacious Guest dock, enjoy the pool if the weather is nice, and then be treated to the very special Svendsen's Night on Sturday. Svendsen's opens its doors after hours just for the I-36 fleet and offers great discounts on most items. Line in particular is often 40% off! So plan to join us by boat for the weekend or by car for Svendsen's (and maybe some ice cream dockside afterwards.)

Fri-Sun, May 24-26 Giants Game 22 tickets Sold, 3 remain. Friday dinner at The Crab House; Possible Sunday gathering in McCovey Cove; 1:05 Game time. If you want a ticket, email Dan Knox.

Fri-Sun. June 28-30 Benicia Marina
Benicia is a nice harbor and a fun town to explore. A big plus is an invitation to dinner Saturday at Rob & Ruby Blenderman's house - just a nice walk from the marina. Some options here! Sail up on Friday with those that can get away from work. Sail up on Saturday to arrive in time for dinner with Rob & Ruby. Return to the Bay on Sunday, or use this as a jumping off point for a week-long Delta cruise with July 4th on Thursday!

Sat-Sun. July 20-21 Coyote Point This is a good Family Fun weekend. Aim for a fleet cruise down from the Bay Bridge. Visit the CuriOdyssey museum.

Fri-Sun. Aug 9-11 Emory Cove Cruise

The Islander Association establishes its annual Cruise schedule based on the general input of members, and may include destinations around the Bay, on river tributaries, and outside the Golden Gate. However, the Association assumes no liability for any event. It is the sole responsibility of each individual owner to decide if his or her boat and crew are suitable for a given event, and whether to participate, start or continue in any event.
