<strong>Today</strong> Pleasure Point is a full-service<br />
membership-owned marina with top<br />
facilities and plenty of paved parking. A<br />
range of water activities like pontoon and<br />
fishing boats,kayaks, jet skis, pedal boats<br />
and Standup Paddleboards are available<br />
to rent.<br />
Including Airhead’s Super 8, an immense<br />
inflatable SUP that accommodates<br />
up to eight paddlers at once. Why go out<br />
solo when you can bring the whole gang<br />
along, even the dogs? Everyone gets to<br />
experience the fun of dipping a blade into<br />
the cool lake water as up to eight riders<br />
simultaneously stroke to provide propulsion<br />
around peaceful Metcalf Bay, where<br />
calm tranquil water is ideal for<br />
paddleboard fun.<br />
“The trick is to get everyone paddling<br />
at the same time,” noted Pleasure<br />
Point’s Larry Whittington. “Some find<br />
it hard, for some it’s really easy. It’s a<br />
real team building experience for sure<br />
and no one gets left behind.”<br />
With eight inches of nose/tail<br />
rocker—just like modern powder skis<br />
and snowboards have—the inflatable<br />
Super SUP glides through the water. It’s<br />
super stable with sturdy, rigid platform<br />
and recommended for all ability levels,<br />
especially beginners who appreciate the<br />
extra wide platform with plenty of room<br />
to stand and stroke. Paddle or just float<br />
and enjoy the lake and mountain views!<br />

only full cocktail service found on any lake<br />

Plus wine, whiskey, beer and more.<br />
Youngsters especially love Time Bandit,<br />
since they get to raid the treasure chest<br />
in search of “booty” that includes toys and<br />
rub-on tatoos so they can look the part too.<br />

safe,” added Pleasure Point’s Carole Shaw.<br />

tingling. In perhaps the ultimate compliment,<br />
it was Richardson who was invited<br />
to sing “Somebody to Love” in her place<br />
by Slick herself when Jefferson Airplane<br />
received its Lifetime Achievement Award<br />
at the Grammys.<br />
Drummer Donny Baldwin also has a<br />
long association with Jefferson Starship.<br />
He replaced the great Aynsley Dunbar in<br />
1982 and was with the band for three years<br />
before rejoining in 2008. Interestingly he<br />
played on “We Built This City” recorded<br />
by another Starship band with Mickey Thomas.<br />
Chris Smith on bass and keyboards<br />
has been around for two decades. Guitarist<br />
Judge Gold lights it up on stage and even<br />
the newcomer has been with Jefferson<br />
Starship for eight years now.<br />
Five decades of music, starting with<br />
Jefferson Airplane and continuing into incarnations<br />
of Jefferson Starship, have resulted<br />
in many hits, a few being<br />
“Miracles,” “Ride the Tiger,” “Caroline,”<br />
“With Your Love,” “Count on Me,” “Find<br />
Your Way Back” and more. $35-$55.<br />
