Robert worked a little magic on this vintage stand up personal water craft and got it running good enough to take out to the Sacramento River! It still needs a lot of work, including sealing up the leak!

Wow this is a big boat that needs a lot of work! It's gotten pretty beat up by the weather and the motor doesn't work, but if anyone can bring it back to life it would be Boat Flipper Alan Helmer!

William B. Ide recognized the opportunities available to him in the West and as a surveyor, miner, treasurer, district attorney, deputy clerk, and judge, provided support and leadership to this northern part of California. William B. Ide wrote the proclamation that established the short-lived California Bear Republic in 1846. It lasted 22 days. The Bear Flag Republic lasted until July 9, 1846, just 25 days, until the U.S. Flag was raised at Sonoma. Ide and other "Bear Flaggers" joined John C. Frémont and the U.S. armed forces in taking possession of California from Mexico.
