--It's alway held on the last full weekend that falls within the month of September. I'm there now; 6 boats here already, plus one 'Likeamobile', hehe.

Darn, Wish I had a bit more notice... ;-)

Then again, first I have to figure out how to sneak the Mark Twain out the gate, perhaps David Copperfield can help with that one. Then come up with the bucks to truck it from Anaheim to Long Beach, then retract the guide wheels and rig up a working rudder, then rig up several big deck tanks to carry enough boiler water and #2 fuel oil, and sail up the coast to Rio Vista. 8-0

Gee, do they make Bearing Buddies for Goldschlager Trailers?

Copperfield should be able to fill the tanks and transport the Twain close enough to Rio Vista to steam in on her own. Just ask him!

P.S: Tell David that I'd be happy to babysit Claudia for a week while you guys do that dangerous boy stuff.

You mean Dave Kotkin? He used to be my neighbor. 'Geeky kid, he was. Claudia says our town looks just like where she was born, a suburb of Dusseldorf. I've been to Dusseldorf, and she's nuts. d8-)
