I really want to make the tow up there and check it out next summer, I have been saying this for awhile but its been hard to put something together.
Have always wanted to boat on the Delta. Every year we look at going, but for some reason never end up booking anything. Sure is a long pull from my house, but looks like it is worth it.
Aint no better time than Oct 5th 2018Sounds like this should be the trip that RD puts together for an RDP meet up next year!
BW is my go to launch, go left out of there and cruise up the killer back sloughs or right 5 min ride and the door is wide open for boating options. There is some really good maps that get put out every few months with updated sand bars and markers. THE DELTA is not for the boaters looking to keep the hrs down on there boat we stretch the legs up

Is there any sort of satellite view map that shows the Delta in its entirety with marked locations (B&W Resort, Discovery bay, bars and resturants on the water, etc.) I Would like to make the trip up but part of my skepticism is knowing where to go and not getting lost! Seems a bit overwhelming for a 1st trip!
Here's a link to the Delta Chamber of Commerce map.

I use an old Garmin Auto GPS for boating, I mainly need to know where I am, that way I can get to where I'm going. There are over 1,000 miles of waterways. Best time is late fall and spring. No crowds and perfect weather.

I might try to come up for that this year. I was supposed to go last year, but it didn't work out.
going to make a run a hooky day this year. I will probably be near the back as I am not particularly fast but it should be fun.

Joe, I think we need to plan this out next summer. A few of us SoCal RDPers headed to the delta with the advice of the local delta RDP Crew on where to stay and go.Have always wanted to boat on the Delta.

No shit, small world.

Hope the wind calms down, it was freezing tue, wed and thrus cuz of it.
Saw you pull into Orwood last night around 6ish. Your boat caught my eye but next time I looked out you were gone. Tell me more about your boat.View attachment 676651 Parked in Front of the Rusty Port Hole. I use a map and pin point my location with the cell phone. It's easy to get off track but you will always run into something worth seeing.
Until next time, see ya later Delta.
Of course 20 buck steak and lobster night makes for a great place to pull out at the end of the day. We just trailered the boat and went inside for dinner.Saw you pull into Orwood last night around 6ish. Your boat caught my eye but next time I looked out you were gone. Tell me more about your boat.
