Last year we experimented on other locations for our club to sail, noting that the Simpson U. Pond gets very low on water and hot during the summer months.
Brandy Creek beach works out well during midweek in the mornings, but gets very busy on the weekends. Oak Bottom marina has a good area with a good dock.
Whiskey Creek boat launch has a good area also.
We are going to try these areas and probably settle on a preferred one.
This Saturday at 9 AM we will be at Oak Bottom Marina to enjoy the better breeze and cool temps.
Hope to see you there!

Whiskeytown Memorial Regatta
Well now we can get back to RC sailing. Preparing for and racing in the Whiskeytown Regatta took up a lot of my time, Jason and Greg Adams was onboard from the club as crew.
We had some good races and some ok races, but overall for the two day, 6 race series we were able to place 2nd in our division.
Not bad all things considering.
We brought our RC boats and sailed after practices and races at Oak Bottom Marina, theres a good location with a dock that we were using, possibly we can use that location when the pond gets too hot. Or back over to Brandy Creek once it opens.
Stay tuned for our next RC sailing date, see you on the water!
