2022 Nor/Cal HATTERAS Roundup Cruise out

We have secured the dates of September 26 through September 30 to cruise into the Delta Yacht Club on the San Joaquin river. This Yacht Club is one of the finest facilities in the Delta to cruise into. They only take other clubs cruise ins during the middle of the week so their own members can take advantage of their island on weekends. If there is any interest from anyone who owns a HATTERAS please reach out to me on a private message. I’ll get in touch with you and discuss all the details. You might want to look up the Delta Yacht Club website and view their video. This is going to be one fabulous cruise out. We hope you’re interested.

Administrators: you may want to delete the old sticky about NorCal roundup and replace it with this one.

We are about 40 days away from our yearly HATTERAS Cruise out in Northern California. September 26th through the 30th. Currently we have 10 yachts confirmed and a few on the fence. If there is any chance you would like to join us for a 5 day cruise out now is the time to contact me. We still have plenty of room for all of us to side tie. We have planned specialty drink nights for 3 of the evenings plus barbecues every night. Tons of fun for the whole family. Swimming, games and great fellowship. Look forward to hearing from anybody is interested.

Had a fantastic time at the NorCal Hatteras Cruise Out! First time taking Katerina that far, and delighted to say she performed flawlessly for an old gal. Looking forward to the 2023 NorCal event!

Thank you, Rusty, for all the work you put into making the event such a success.

Thanks Rebecca it was an outstanding week. Kathleen will be putting together a group of photos from our trip. Thanks to Sam’s for donating some shirts, Cousy’s and floats for giveaways. They were greatly received.

A little more info. We had a half-dozen or so boats, with two having mechanical issues on the way causing them to drop out.

Several others were not ready in time, but very welcome next year!

The location was the Delta Yacht Club in the northern CA river delta (San Joaquin/Sacramento Rivers) about 40-80nm in.

Kathleen posted pics to her Facebook page, so I am uploading them in their entirety.

We had several group dinners: Lance made home-grown giant burgers on the grill, pork loin dinner, steak night, and a big impromptu brunch.

Activities included Tule Island hiking, bocce ball, swimming, Happy Hours each day with designated specialty drinks, and appetizers for each occasion.

Wow, you guys really put out an awesome spread. Over here in the Northeast we just make,... yep,.. reservations.

We have more of a "what happens at the Rendezvous, stays at the Rendezvous" policy. But it looks like the same kind of fun is had by all.

Thanks for sharing.

I had some Hatteras logos made by a friend of mine, and we have started to apply them to the back windows of our cars as well as some glassware. Here’s a photo of one.
