This last March, Ray (Giggitoni) and I transited the Petaluma (CA) river. (See the thread "Petaluma River.") This week, Ray and I introduced Al (FlyWright) and his friend Gene for a repeat. The trip went faultless navigation-wise due to experience gained from the previous voyage (the charts don't reflect the long-term absence of dredging) but not without some "fluttering hearts" when the depth-gage readings were minimal.
The voyage and time spent in Petaluma were interesting and fun, BUT THIS IS AN INVITATION FOR THE NEW PARTICIPANTS to highlight their adventure.
Here, Ray's Mahalo Moi, Al's FlyWright, and Gene's Bot (pronounced with a long oh), are following the Coot downriver Thursday, May 23:
After leaving the mouth of the Petaluma River, there is a narrow channel leading south in the San Pablo Bay. So much water, but so little navigable:
