Cal Boating Still Vulnerable
The Department of Boating and Waterways — a.k.a. Cal Boating — is still on Governor Brown’s list of agencies to kill, so if you want to keep the Delta as weed-free as possible, or you use boat launches, or you ever use pump-out stations, or you like that a government agency has your back, or…

Prime Resource for Cruiser News

Cruisers at the Crossroads
Every year between February and May roughly 400 cruising boats from all over the world head west from Panama to French Polynesia.
