I remember riding on her when she was the Tule Princess and David Sarlin was still alive. My father still tells a story of me falling asleep in the foc'sle on her when I was a couple years old.

Every year he would steam her from her bearth in Petaluma (CA) up the San Joaquin river to the annual steamboat meet at the B&W marina near Rio Vista, CA. She was the "flagship" of the fleet.

David was a nice guy and she was a beautiful boat. I hope she goes to someone that will take care of her.

If you had the money, this would be the one to get.
