Sorry for the late post but been busy with repowering my fishing boat to have ready for Pacific Ocean Salmon season.
The wife and I hosted some of our children along with our identical twin great grand daughter for a little cruise and BBQ on the Sacramento Delta River.
About to launch at the Oxbow Marina in Rio Vista, CA

Another great day with the family.
Planning to cruise up to Joe's Crab Shack up at Old Town in Sacramento some two-three hours cruise up river.

Love the Delta, been there many times while owning jet skis. We always stayed at the Orwood Resort camping. Have to go up there with the new toon I got late last year. The Delta is a boaters paradise!
How far offshore are you going out for the Salmon?

That looks like it was a great trip!! I am interested in the Delta also. Worked in Rio VIsta many years ago and would like to one day put in down there and take the Sacramento River as far north as I can.
How far have you made it???

I've launched at Rio Vista and cruised up the Old Sac River up to Old Town Sac. Lunched at Joe's Crab Shack, walked around Old Town then cruised back. Nice beautiful ride. My grandkids loved it and planning to do it again soon.
BTW, planning to berth the Toon in Oxbow Marina next month for the summer.

What's it like to deal with the river current going against it, and with it,,,,

The river flows are way down right now, you just need to be aware and that's why I opted for more power. Having rented a toon with a 20hp ENGINE, That's a bit uncomfortable with the current and the breeze pushing you into a levee
