When we first arrived at Oroville Lake at 7:30, this was our view of
the lake.
|
Mike Maddox volunteered to serve as safety boat. As you can see, he
had power to spare!
|
Mike and his wife, Hana Laura are Coast Guard Reserve. They always arrive
fully equipped. |
Mike and Hana Laura's boat, White Knight. |
This view shows the full moon already rising while we were still 30 minutes
from launching. The timing was perfect. |

This shot shows (L to R) Tyson Schaffer, Richard Silvera and Kelly
Barr
|
Tyson and Richard sailed Richard's Prindle 18-2 catamaran with home-made
red and green bow lights. |
Mike Peavy and Richard are rigging Mike's Nacra 5.8 catamaran. |
Mark and Kelly with sons Chris and Grant went out on "Pink Slip"...
a Thistle. |
White Knight on station as we sailed out of the launch ramp cove. The
moon was spectacular. |
|
Kelly, Grant and Chris were all blinded by my flash.
|
Mike was sailing with his friend, Elena.
|
The Nacra 5.8 has plenty of room on the trampoline for a relaxing night
sail.
|
Here, the Prindle glided by our Thistle like we were standing still.
It doesn't seem quite fair that they are that fast.
|
This is our GPS track for the nights sail. We did go just past the bridge
and sailed cautiously under the middle span. There was plenty of room. |
