Trailered Marea to Lake Don Pedro in central California last Saturday. I've been waiting for a slip to come available. It's only 40 minutes from home and the winter/spring conditions there are great. I had a "situation" that I thought I would share wit

Hi JD, I must have just missed you Saturday. My wife and two of the kids and I were just getting back from the waterfall at about 6:30. The lake was 10 feet lower just 1 month ago. About 50 feet to go and all those nasty islands will be gone. Beleive

Ed,
I think we left the marina around 6:30 Saturday night, must have just missed you. I'm on the end of D dock, #328. I was back out on Sunday and met the sailer opposite me. He has just purchased a C25 last October. There are so many C25's at Don Pe

JD, There must be at least 20 C25's and I counted 3 C250's in the marina. I can count only 5 or 6 that are regularly sailed. I am on the water almost every week, year around so I watch this sort of thing. In the past, the Stanisluas Sailing Club held T

JD,

Were you on the Brown river( Great South Bay)last season? There was a fellow there with the same last name. A relative perhaps.

Ed, Marea is in the last inside slip on D dock. Not sure if I'm crazy about this spot or not. It's definitely easy to get in and out of, but offers no protection from waves coming off the lake. They said I could chose another slip if I wanted, but haven

JD, The 30' Patio Cruiser that was in Slip 23 just pulled out and I don't think he will be back. This is an outside slip, facing the launch ramp. Great fun to watch the ramp in the summer. Wave action isn't too bad. Check it out. Ed on 'Yahoo'

Ed,
Thanks, I'm number 2 on the waiting list for an outside slip. So maybe I'll get the call. Last fall, when I first enquired about a slip, I was 24 on the list. We'll see what happens. Why is it you haven't move over to D dock? Seems like those sl

Where is Lake Don Pedro? I've tried to locate it on several different maps and have had no luck.

Mark, Don Pedro Res. is about 30 miles east of Modesto, CA in the Sierra foothills. Do a search using the keys words 'Don Pedro' or 'Turlock Irrigation District' and you will find a web page. This lake has fairly large open areas for long sailing legs a
