We were berthed at Perrys. A few weeks ago, the wife and I were down at the boat and we went to Korths for breakfast. Checked the gas prices and on the way back, decided to check the gas prices at Willowberm. As we pulled in my wife said, lets check the berth prices here. We went in and told them what we needed. We need a tall slip for our 34' Tolly due to the flybridge and canvas. All the tall 40' slips were full but they offered us a 50' slip for the price of a 40'. One of the few benefits of a poor economy. After taking the tour and seeing all the amenities they have to offer, we decided to move.
Took the boat down on Saturday. As luck would have it, once inside the marina and approaching the slip, the starboard engine decided to quit.For anyone that has been there, a fair amount of current runs through the new section. I did manage to get the boat in but not without a little drama. Now it's time to figure out what happened. Next time down I'll dive into the engine compartment.
We sure like the marina.
 
Willow Berm is a great place to call "home"!

We regularly stay at the Lighthouse Resort with our motorhome and always take a walk over to WB to check out two of our previous boats that we sold. We like to keep an eye on them!

Quite a few friends of mine have berthed their boats at Korth's going back to the late 70's. We have stayed there in our various cruisers for more than a few nights.

We have stayed at WB quite a few times as well. First class place!

Good luck with the engine situation!
 
If I was still in northern CA, that is the place I would want to be at. Very nice and quiet.
 
3Birds welcome to Da Berm. We're berthed in R-4; stop by and have a beverage next time you're around.
 
I forgot to mention, this is the first marina on the Delta where, so far, everyone I've met has all their teeth.

I take it you haven't met AbsoLoot yet. [}}:-|>>] (Please don't ban me, Dave!!!)
 
I finally got after my engine problem. Had a cracked coil. Went to Napa Auto Parts in Rio Vista and now all is well. Plan to run the Big Dog poker run in our 24' hot rod on Sunday. Anyone else going?
