Adventures in Disco Bay

[jackpunx]

The delta is awesome......... it is like the James Bond movie in alot of ways..
And It's called "Lost Isle"....... my BIL owns it..... cool place, but my sister
hates it.......
Glad you had a good time............!
as for your "rough chop" you haven't got to experience Frank's Tract with
50mph winds, 8 foot chop in a Mastercraft prostar 190..... wet doesn't begin
to describe it..........
--Sherpa
we did have a great time..
8" chop?.. sounds like a 3 hr tour.. it also soundsl like something we might think twice about in a 36' cat

Sounds like you had a great time and you haven't come close to seeing it all yet, in fact after several years of going out there, I haven't seen it all yet. Even with the winds picking up most of the sloughs are pretty well protected and there isn't much chop and you can spend hours out there in relative protection. You ought to see the 4th of July from near Baron Hilton's place, it's F'n crazy with more then 4000 boats tied up or anchored at times and Lost Isle is only a 5-10 minute ride up the deep water channel. Be sure to watch out for the rollers coming off the big cruizers, you could launch off one and stuff it. The best part is you can always loose the crowds if you want!

we got a taste of some big rollers.. I can only imagine that it goes off there..
for me..its worth the drive up from LA.. as long as I have a tour guide.. :wink:

The waves that get me are the huge ones that follow behind the big boats after you cross their outer wakes. They are spaced just enough apart to really jack you up.

Hey Tony, those are the rollers! Sometimes you don't even see a boat and suddenly you are on them without warning and they can go on for a 1/4 mile before they disappear again without ever seeing who made them.

I got my Eagle 300 XP completely out of the water jumping one of those a couple of hundred feet behind the boat. They are enormous and perfectly ramped for a dukes of hazard jump. Please don't do this at home... :hammerhea

Tony,,
I think you should try to double those rollers with your k boat

[Dave C]

no kidding!
the rollers that follow directly behind, about 100 feet or so, the freighters and barges heading to Stockton....... those are the ones that will leave a friggin mark. :supp: :supp:
long time ago, we stopped and waited for a freighter to pass use. When the initial wakes subsided, we took off full speed... thinking it was OK but then 15 seconds later ..... yeeeehaaaaaa!! OUCH!
