Those planning on sailing back on Sunday, let's plan on docking out at 6am sharp from SSC. my cell: 303.717.0449

:: Desperado has motor sailed home for many years. I will
:: be bringing 14 gallons of fuel which I will purchase
:: Saturday night at local gas station. Otherwise, gas dock
:: next to SSC does not open to 9 am and is pricey. If you
:: need to buy fuel on the way home; Antioch public marina
:: is the most convienient, followed by Benecia. Ideal time
:: to leave SSC based on tides is 3:30 am. But Desperado
:: will be leaving at 6 am also or maybe 1/2 hour earlier.
:: Time to Brickyard Cove is 10 - 13 hours. This year will
:: expeience 1.5 tides cycles with flood inevitable and ebb
:: at the end.
::
:: mb
::
:: :: Opa! is leaving the dock at 6am on Sunday.
:: ::
:: :: Last year we made it back to the St Francis in 16 1/2
:: :: hours, with 6-8 hours of pure sailing.
::
:: :: We are planning on 6gal, which is extra for just in
:: :: case.
::
:: :: This includes 1/2 gal for motor to RYC if required.
::
:: :: We figure our usage at 1/4 gal for every 45 min of
:: :: motoring.
:: ::
:: :: We plan on sailing whenever the wind permits.
:: ::
:: :: :: Looks like a great turnout for Sat.
:: :: ::
:: :: :: I'm planning on bringing the boat back on Sunday and
:: :: :: wondering who else is doing so and what time are you
:: :: :: thinking of leaving?
:: :: ::
:: :: :: I don't have a tide book here but recall that high tide
:: :: :: in Stockton is at about 7am, it that the time to
:: :: :: leave....or earlier?
:: :: ::
:: :: :: We just have a 3.5hp so may not keep up with some....any
:: :: :: thoughts on how much gas to bring?
