Delta Photos

making bacon!

Tiki J and Ada Helen leaving Willow Berm to anchor out at Threeriver Reach while we head to Oxbow for one night

The Mokelumne swing bridge (Hwy 12) opening for Steve and us as we head up the Mokelumne to Georgiana Slough to Oxbow Marina.  We had been told the bridge opened on the hour and on the :20 and :40 but itopened for us immediately without our having to even hail the bridge tender.

Matt cooling off at Oxbow

Joe checking our bow line.

the "Fun Island" in use (Kim and kids, Carrie on her float)

Pineapple Girl with our $50 pop up canopy.  Worked out great.

Matt getting ready to try water skiing

Another view of Pineapple Girl from the ski boat

The three boats on Threeriver Reach, from the ski boat as we prepare to pull Matt out of the water

About as close as Matt came to water skiing.  He gave up after four tries.  But he had fun!

A morning visitor in at Threeriver Reach

Passerby on the San Joaquin as we sat on Pineapple Girl. 

We were right of the Stockton deep water channel / San Joaquin River and we saw a few freighters slip by while we were there.  They move at a pretty good clip.  One caused all sorts of small bubbles to rise up out of the water all around us as it passed by.  Very Odd.

I agree, very peaceful-appearing, there in the Delta, among the tules.
    Does your version of Blogger allow for captioning photos? If so, it might be useful.
    The way it works for me is, in "compose" mode, if I click on a photo just added, I see options for size of photo to display, alignment, and captioning.

ok Dad I added captions! :)

I looked at these pics before captions and again today with captions. I thought you had put up different photos!

Same photos. :) I do have lots more, though.
