New Member from San Francisco/Antioch

[TugginSF]

HI,
New member here, Rich (and Mary) Holden. Have lurked long enough; time to become an official member.
We have Calliope, a Pilgrim 40, by North Castle Marine, Canada (Goderich, Ontario near Montreal, I believe)
Have been "Caretakers" for this 1985 boat since 2011 and use her primarily in the San Francisco and Sacramento/San Joaquin Delta area. Boat is berthed in Antioch, CA.
Have been enjoying and learning from you all; hope to continue and contribute as I learn more.

Pictures please.

Rich,

That does look like a great boat for the Bay/Delta. I just moved my boat from the PNW to Pittsburg, CA. However, I have been studying the Bay/Delta for the past 30+ years.
Looks like someone should organize a TF cruise-in somethime for the Bay/Delta.

Welcome to the forum. I have many good memories of sailing the Bay Area and and up as far as Martinez in the 1970's.

Greetings,
Welcome aboard. "(Goderich, Ontario near Montreal, I believe). Goderich to Montreal, Quebec is about 500 miles. You might be meaning Toronto, Ontario which is 140 from Goderich. Nice boat. Nice cruising area.

Back to you folks:
I am learning geography from RT Firefly; thanks! Maybe, if I can go to Goderich, I can learn more.
Photos when I learn how and have more time. Getting ready to teach a Safe Boating Class this Sat. In person. Rusty from lack of practice for the last year. Learning .pptx.
later.

I used to live on Bethel Island, enjoyed cruising the delta with my dad when I was in high school.

Opposite coasts; so we're ok.
