Sailing in the eastern Delta - whether the Sacramento or San Joaquin Rivers can be quite fun. Since, however, these bodies of water are rivers running toward the San Francisco Bay in a southwesterly direction with prevailing winds out of the west, we do a lot of tacking.
Also, these rivers serve as the deep water channels for large cargo and other vessels coming up from the San Francisco Bay to the Ports of Stockton and Sacramento.
So whatever rules of the road that apply to sailboats vs. powerboats need to be waived when in the shipping channels.
That said, for the most part, there is plenty of room for everyone and plenty to see and do.
Here is a picture of Ken at the helm of Crossroads on a quiet day in January.
If you are thinking of or already sail in this region, you might want to check out the Andreas Cove Yacht Club and/or the Club Rio Sailing School.
