A Blue Moon Leads Us to Summer in the Delta

The summer sailing season is really here, and this weekend is helping it get off to a good start with a blue moon this Sunday, the last day of May. We’re then fully launched into June and the summer sailing months. People will be racing up to the Delta in the Delta Ditch Run on June 13, and some will stay to cruise. Others won’t race to the Delta but will cruise to the Delta. What are your summer cruising plans?

If you sometimes want to escape the chill of summer on the Bay, you can find a way to chill in the warmth of the Delta when you sail just a few miles upstream. There are lots of places to tuck in for the night or for a week.

Cruising the Delta is the closest place to get far away.
