| Seeing the news on KRON, you could go boating in downtown Napa today.
Seeing the Wine Train terminal, we have reservations on the 20th for our
anniversary. Wonder if it will be running? |

| That's 20 days to clean up the muck and get things back on track. Not that
it's going to stop raining anytime soon, but maybe the flood threat will
subside.
My son just showed me the Reno news; apparently Reno flooded today. And
CalTrans says 80 west is closed at Fairfield due to flooding.
Is it time to buy an inflatable with an outboard? Bryan |

| That'll get you up and down the neighborhood streets until you need to park
it on someones lawn. |

| What do you say, Bill, should we venture out? I'm sure my 18 foot runabout
can handle it. And I got my new handheld VHF so I can call the USCG when
I've had enough.

| Nope, I am going to Alamo for a crab feed New Years party! Where in the Bay
Area, or NorCal are you located? |

| Near Santa Rosa.
That makes my primary runabout territory Lake Sonoma and Clear Lake.
I want to take a spin on the bay down the Petaluma River to Angel island
which is why I bought the handheld VHF; it didn't seem right to be on the
bay with just a cell phone. Of course I'll wait for ideal conditions.
It'll be my first step toward taking my little boat to Catalina this summer.
I figure I'll get a little bay experience in my runabout before trying the
Catalina trip. I've sailed the bay and made the trip to Catalina plenty of
times, but it's all been sailing in boats I wouldn't hesistate to sail
coastal or near coastal; never a little powerboat. Bryan
