The last cruise of the year…some say, ‘saving the best for the last’, and I must say it was quite fun! A six hour cruise up the Delta to St. Francis Yacht Clubs’ Tinsley Island. You could quite easily cruise right by if you didn’t spy the lighthouse turret or the tall masts rising above the palm trees. We nestle in next to Endeavor - Commodore Gary Sheppard and Mary Beth Bond-Sheppard’s boat and Safari - Wyman and Gay Harris’ boat. With the Independence safely stowed, let the party begin. This is a four day celebration called ‘The Friendship Cruise Roundup’ with members from Corinthian, Lock Lomond, Marin, Richmond, San Francisco, St. Francis, Sausalito and Tiburon Yacht Clubs…I believe somewhere in the number of 200 persons! The weekends events and cocktails are sponsored by each club and the cowboy theme will become quickly evident!
