LIFE ON THE GEORGINA SLOUGH..

   It was a number of years ago when we were first introduced to the Georgina Slough, on the waters of the California Delta when visiting my brother at OxBow Marina.  The Georgina meanders through the farm lands of the delta conecting the waters of the Sacramento River with those of the San Joaquin.
    Over the years, we've traveled the slough, and spent a good number of days and nights anchored among over hanging trees and enjoying the water as it flows below us. The Georgina is in itself is a paradise with wildlife both in the water and on its banks, from fish and turtles to coyotes and otters,  all living in this remote area of the California Delta.
    A few years ago, while visiting family members, we opted to use OxBow Marina as a layover. Little did we know that OxBow would be the birthplace for our next venture and the home of our business, OxBow Canvas & Upholstery.
    We've come and gone from this area, sailing to far away ports and exploring new places, but once again we find ourselves back where we once started, on that tree covered waterway in the heart of the California Delta.
    Our plans are to leave here again, when the seasons change, on new adventures, visiting places and countries we've never seen before,
Crossing Oceans and following the trades, But I feel we'll always return to this paradise on the cross waters between the Sacramento and the San Joaquin,  On The Water, On the Georgina.
