We are about to meet up with another OBYC member from Willow Berm to cruise the rest of the way with them. It was pretty foggy when we first started out and now it's just a bit hazy around the edges.
The theme of the cruise is red neck yacht club so we're interested to see people's take on what constitutes a red neck. I certainly have my own notions after living in the south for many years.
I wrote the above yesterday. Now it's Sunday and we're heading home. Yesterday was warm and calm. Today is windy! Windy! Super windy! We hung at the docks all morning waiting for the tide to come in so there was enough water for the bigger boats te get out. It's early afternoon now as we head down fourteen mile slough to the San Joaquin River.
Yesterday was super fun. There were some great red necks and hillbillies. We had a fire going in a fire pit and people were telling funny stories about growing up Catholic and attending Catholic school and mass. Once the wind changed and smoke was blowing right at us, Matt and I called it a night. Our clothes from yesterday smell like wood smoke and bacon. Apparently bacon is a red neck favorite because we had a lot of it yesterday! Yum.
We're at the tail end of the Ox Bw procession a we stopped at Village West's fuel dock for diesel. People ahead if us were talking on the radio about a freighter. We can see it up ahead on the river. So looks like we will be passing it soon. (Opposite directions). That's always fun.
Just heard the report that it's nice and windy at willow berm. Fun fun. Got a couple hours before we deal with that. 
Just passed it. Whew.
