Some of the long time posters here will remember me. I was quite active on the forum a few years back. Have gotten busy, but still enjoying my Mac 26X. I keep my boat at Lauritzen's Yacht Harbor in Oakley. This is just up river from Antioch. The Antioch Marina doesn't have a launch ramp, so if you w...

I'm looking for the owner of the Mac 26x LEHIGH . We were recently out on a friends boat during the Fleet Week activities on San Francisco Bay, and we happened to get some photos (digital) of the LEHIGH under sail. I wanted to get those photos to the owner, but I can't seem to find them. I know I've...

I too use the walk on method . But occasionaly I am by myself, so I use the technique that has been discussed earlier here on the board. I tie a lie from one of the uprights, around the winch post and back to the other upright at the rear of the trailer. This gives me a V shaped fence to guide me i...

My non-boating life has been getting in the way, but I think we can still pull this off. The one marina that is going to be the most likely to cause us problems is Pier 39. This is a very popular destination, so if you are planning to attend, you should get your reservations in as soon as you can. -...

Sorry about that guys (and gals). Some real-life events got my attention, and I've not been on the boards for a few weeks. I'll try to make it a point to drop in and say, "Hi," more often. Perhaps even hoist a pint or two in the new Mac Pub. Others have stated that you can't get one chart ...

California MacGregor/Venture Cruise 2006 (Tentative) This cruise is a preliminary design of a 9-day cruise (A week, plus the weekends on either side) around the West Delta, San Pablo Bay (North San Francisco Bay), and the Central San Francisco Bay. It includes a variety of waterways, landscapes, an...

Ok. Let me start looking at what we can pull together. As to the when, does anyone have any suggestions as to a good date? And on that same subject, how long a cruise do we want. Just a weekend? A week? Or for those retired folks among us, a month? Actually, the amount of time we allow for the cruis...

Anyone interested in getting together for a California cruise/rendezvous this year. We did one a couple years ago, and I met a few new Mac owners. Some ideas have been tossed around recently include: San Francisco Bay tour Delta cruise to Sacramento Lake Shasta There are many lakes around California...

Thanks for the info....what time of year were you planning for? early june or july? Still haven't decided. Probably early June, or even late May. I need to look at a calendar to see what looks good. Also, I need to plan around events my other boating groups have going, so I may not be able to nail ...

Hey Mark ... not sure I understood everything in your post. Tomales Bay is the very elongated, skinny Bay that requires passage west of Pt. Reyes, around the Point and then much farther north. Tomales is reputed to be the occasional inland home to great white sharks. But as you wrote, the price of ...

What about a sacto - frisco (or the other way)cruise. I have heard there is a lot of history to see along the waterway. I guess its mostly a motoring jaunt though. Actually, SF to Sac would be mostly downwind (assuming the prevailing westerly plus coastal sea breeze). A few areas of reaching, but t...

My apologies for the long delay in getting these photos posted. I had started posting them on a server at work, but the person running that server left the company, and the server was shutdown. I finally decided to use my Yahoo account to post them, as I was not getting anywhere finding a better pla...

I have their premium service. What it appears is that your briefcase area is rate-limited. After so many MB of data has been downloaded in a short time, the site won't send any more data. Yahoo offers something similar to the briefcase, only for storing photos. It might be a bit better for what you ...

Maybe it's just me, but I'm not able to open the CanAm folder. I'll try later to see if it's just a momentary problem.

While I've not been to Bamfield, I would like to express some concern over the amount of fuel. True, 15 gals should be enough, but there are a lot of factors that could affect that. Size of your motor. A larger motor will burn fuel faster. Planned speed of operation. The faster you go, the faster yo...
