Google Album with all the images

The 2013 Northern California was once again a lot of fun and we had a great turn out.  There were 57 for Saturday dinnner plus another 10 who dropped by on Saturday to tour the boats. 

The San Leandro YC and DelMarie Snodgrass served up a great meal on Saturday night and Randy's Raffle items were better then ever.  The para sail sea anchor was purchased by silent auction by Ben Bobblett with a special thanks to John Mendoza for the donation.

Friday evening finger food potluck has become a great meal - with many great dishes and plenty of food.  Sunday Breakfast was also a great time to talk with other westsailors

Of special mention are those that traveled from out of state to attend.

James and Rebecca Lasseter - flying in from Topica, Kansas
Dick Peek and Laura Ritter - drove from Park City, Utah
Steve and Carmen VanTuyl - drove from Pleasant Harbor Marina, Washington
