He's seen a video of me catching and releasing an oversized sturgeon. I'm saving that picture for the after August session!

Thanks, Don. I hope I remember that sage advice. It might be tough to remember in the heat of the moment.

That was very good, Al. I saw your hands trembling while releasing that fish. Do you think you can do it again?

Al, do you suppose the research will be done using this vessel?:
Its lettering seems to need updating.

We actually saw quite a few of them. I counted around 20 that I could see at one time. We were just leaving so we didnt bother (trying) catching them.
I can let you know if I see them next weekend. I have heard they are everywhere around that area. I'd be interested in learning about them and their annual habits.

Sorry Al, I looked at some pictures of sturgeon and carp. The fish we saw were definitely carp. But your welcome to come by and catch some!

Bow and arrow is best for carp.

Me and my buds used to hang out at “Lost Isle” when it was just a dive. We would scream down there from Sacramento every Friday morning during the summer on my friend's Sea Ray just to get a place at the dock. As soon as we were tied up we would immediately start partying. The place would easily fill up by Fri afternoon and folks would push other boats aside just to get in. Woke up many a Sunday afternoon on a strange boat with strange people. I could tell many a tale, if only I could remember them. Unfortunately (or not), it’s closed now.
“Al the Wop’s” in Locke is a pretty funky place also. KJ

Seen in the CA delta
Bligh,
Great shots!
That sailor will learn to stack his beer on both sides of the boat.
Is that a pilot house poking out of the hyacinths?
Looks like you found the double-crested cormorant tree north of Mildred.

How does one dock a Manatee single-handed with unfavorable winds or current?
A couple of small tragedies (abandoned boats) pictured.

Mark: i am the veteran of many such dockings with my boat. What I can sa is that I've rarely had a problem. The Manatee looks a lot more windy than it is. The full keel helps a lot, however a one knot forward speed does a lot more for you than the old 5HP bow thruster.

Larry, I was concerned about the time it takes to get to deck/dock level from the helm position on the Manatee. I've even found the two-second, three-step move from the Coot's deck-level helm position to the mid-cleat to be "just in time." Fortunately, that is a rare occasion, and never at the home dock.

Yes it is a pilothouse. Only the steel frame is left. Sad to see old work boats abandoned like that, but i guess they have a limited lifespan just like everything else.

Was down that way today, and surprised to find a ferry! odd thing though as it was about a mile upstream of a large bridge crossing the same river.

Yes, they sure do! No use in Russia or China, for those interested, but the roads of the good'ol USA are a lot friendlier with one on my windscreen.
