Pat ..... I should know soon.  I really want this to be a unifying event for fishing and non-fishing Hobie Island owners.  We can learn more about sailing from them and they can learn how to fish from us.

I'll be fishing the salmon opener on Saturday and sailing Alameda on Sunday.

Scott... It wouldn't be the same without you (NCKA's Island Sailing Expert).  If you do well on Saturday, will we have grilled salmon at the Sunday potluck?

Sailing Demo ? Will CCK have extra boats there for classes like the classes they had at Jack London last year? would love to give Hobie sailing a try.

If you wanna demo one, come on down!  I'm sure there will be Hobie Islands there for you to try.  You're welcome to try mine.

Looks like the weather is looking better by the minute for this weekend yahoo , I am looking forward to sailing with all of you on Sunday. If any one is in need of some Aka rod mounts or crossbar FF mounts I will be bring some with me to the get together just look me up, I will also be doing a little fishing in the morning before the sail get together .

Don't think duct tape will hold the sail so I better sit out this one    Have a good time guys and please take lots of pictures.

I can't make it, but will be with your in spirit.  I have a bathroom remodeling project.  Catch all those big butts and eat all the salmon that Scott brings.

Will there be more event like this coming up?  Can't make it this weekend due to spring break with the family.  I'm in the market for a TI and would love to see u guys in action.  : (

Here's what looks like the most accurate forecast for Sunday:

http://www.wunderground.com/weather-forecast/US/CA/Alameda.html
Sun
Mostly cloudy with a chance of rain in the afternoon. High of 68F. Winds from the SW at 5 to 15 mph. Chance of rain 20%.

I have Hobie Promo Gifts for each Island owner that shows up on Sunday.  I also have some cool Hobie raffle prizes including a Stolquist PFD (courtesy of CCK).

This is pretty reliable for me.  Great day for sailing steady wind at 11 knots up to 20 knot gusts!!

If I feel better by Sunday I might show up.  Probably won't sail since I have not had a chance to get my CF number yet.
