Cruise Cruise Tour

August 2010
This event was sponsored by the Vintage Chevrolet Club of America, So Cal Region and Bob Jeppesen, Jim Lundal and Roy Queen were Hosts.

The Cruise Cruise is Two Cruises.  First the tour cars take the Captains for a Land Cruise through nearby Seal Beach and then all participants load on the boats for a Sea Sailing Cruise in Long Beach Harbor.  This tour was started about 5 years ago with Jim Lundal, Bob Jeppesen and a Vintage Chev member Roy Queen who was Commodore of the Little Ship Fleet of Long Beach Yacht Club.  All of the proceeds from the event are donated to a local Children's Medical Facility in Long Beach.

Beginning in the parking lot at Cerritos Mall and driving to Alamitos Bay we pick up the boat Captains and crew for the Land Cruise.  After the Land Cruise we park the cars and board the boats of the Little Ships Fleet and sail away.  Different boats got different locations depending where the visitors want to sail.  Upon returning to the Yacht Club everyone is treated to some food.

Above David Walsh perches on a 48-foot "motor home" with no sails.  I believe he is in command.  As a previous sail boat owner, David claims he wanted it easier today.
Another "old salts" Larry and Nancy Ward wanted to participate in the boat operation.  They are preparing to hoist the main sail.
This is sailing at its finest, Jim Lundal's g-daughter rests on the foredeck while sailing.
