We are back to the Sacramento River Delta, this time with a bigger boat launching from Stockton. We find plenty of opportunities for "naked time" even with random boats and sea planes passing by. Come on in! The water is beautiful!

Big Jim from Los Angeles offered a powerboat for an outing and eventually I was able to set a date to go to Folsom Lake where there is a boat launch. A few days before the event it came to light that the water level in Folsom Lake was extremely low and Big Jim proposed we instead launch at Stockton into the massive and labyrinthine Sacramento River Delta. We had previously done an outing with a smaller boat in the delta with a student group from Berkeley, but this was actually a different part of the delta quite a distance away. There are areas with homes on the waterfront at which point we would just go below deck. One of the cameras was a "floater" which means it gets passed around and people shoot whatever they feel like.
