I attended the third annual Delta Thunder Boat Races in Isleton, CA last month. It was my first time attending this boat race (or any boat race), but I am glad I did, and I plan on attending next year. The weather was perfect, and the setting was wonderful. There was plenty of seating available near the docks, which are situated near the boat launch area, so spectators had a terrific view of the exciting boat racing action. There where food and drink vendors near the boat launch. I didn't try any of the food, but I did get a free life jacket at a booth hosted by the Coast Guard. The crowd seemed pretty small this year, so I don't know if seating will be as good next year or not. As this event catches on, it will probably draw larger crowds. Isleton is such a cool little town! The delta is an amazing place to visit and explore. read more

The boat races in Isleton presented an opportunity to watch a type of racing not seen in our area. The venue was very nice. There were not a lot of spectators so getting a great spot to view the races was very easy. Food and drinks were available. read more
