2026 Delta Extragavanza comes to an end

Well, today closed out another great C-Brat adventure. I left the Benicia dock at 8am, with everyone else off by 8:30. Only 30 miles back to Rio Vista. Just a little chop in the water, and an ebb flow of about 2mph. Another day where I ran on plane, but today I held about 23-25mph. Sorry, no photos of boats being put back on their trailers, as I was busy getting C-Traveler prepped for the drive north to the Seattle area. Once everyone had their boats back out of the water and on their trailers, we met over at Stripers Café for a farewell breakfast. Our hosts/coordinators for this Delta Extravaganza, John and Laurie, did a good job of getting everything together and carrying on a cruise tradition that’s lasted a quarter of a century. Jim and Kath, on Pounder, were the original coordinators, and they continue to participate in the cruise.
Rosanne and I had planned to spend some time at Old Sacramento this afternoon, as her flight back home doesn’t leave until 12:30am this morning. But that was a bust as I couldn’t find anywhere to park with the boat in tow. We ended up doing a little shopping at Walmart and then Costco. I dropped Rosanne off at the Sacramento airport at 6pm, then continued north about 50 miles to Granzellas Restaurant, where I got supper and am parked for the evening. This will close out this blog, and I will start a new blog tomorrow on my British Columbia cruise for the next two months.
