Greetings!
"In the summertime when the weather is high, you can jump right up and touch the sky..."
That's right, it's officially summertime! Daytime extends into the eight o-clock hour and gives you plenty of opportunity to get out there and enjoy your favorite pastime! With the kids out of school, and the extension of the Club Nautique member weekday charter incentive, this would be the perfect chance to enjoy a vacation of a lifetime right here in your own back yard! Plan a trip to Petaluma, spend the night at South Beach or dip your toes into the warm, fresh waters of the Delta! You'll be blown away by all the fun there is to be had, and it's only a sailboat ride away!
The 4th of July is right around the corner, have you made your plans to watch the fireworks from a boat?

 TODAY'S TIP
Have fun things for kids to do onboard to keep them engaged and entertained. Play games like "I spy" that you would normally play in a car. Or if you're really motivated, create your own bingo cards made up of things that you might see out on the bay. For those warmer days, keep a super soaker in your bag of tricks! IMPORTANT!!! Establish rules of engagement... like - no shooting into cockpits where there may be cell phones, cameras or other non-waterproof electronic gear. You can also use your soaker in a pinch to give the cockpit a quick hosing off! You can purchase this model locally at Big 5 sports or you can find it on line they run anywhere from $9.99 - $24.99. |

NAUTICAL NOGGIN-BOGGLER WINNER!
We selected our winner randomly from the correct answers submitted. Don't miss your chance to dazzle us with your knowledge and win a prize!
Congratulations to this week's winner of your choice of hat or beanie from our Pro Shop, Christine Tozzi 
QUESTION:
Two fathers and two sons went fishing. Each caught a fish, but they caught only three fish in all. How come?
ANSWER:
There was a grandfather, a father (son of the grandfather) and a son.
While you could argue that there were THREE sons on the boat, as by the simple fact of being born you are automatically a son, we opted to only count the sons on the boat whose fathers were present.

CAUGHT ON CAMERA
Summer Sailstice was a boat load of fun! Everyone was there! Including Popeye and Olive!
The crew of Sandra Dee made it ashore to enjoy the festivities!
There was a whole lot going on for kids of all ages. If you didn't make it this year, be sure to mark your calendars for next year!
 This was called the "slap dance" to signify the slapping of mosquitoes that were prevalent on the islands.
 There were five teams who built boats right on sight. They all finished, they all launched and not one of them sank!
  The Polynesian dancers kept the crowd on their feet.
  Our proud skippers of Wanderin' Bear after a long and challenging day! Thank you to Julie, John and Renee for a job well done!
 The crew of Saphira, Ruben and Shirley(in the hats) and their guests, minus skipper Pat Williams. Thanks so much for your hard work!
