Larry Wheeler built and sold Water Streekers up and down the Sacramento River in the early 80's. They are great for big people and are super stable. They are not very dangerous, as they are nearly impossible to tip over, and have a very wide platform to stand on. Larry would them to trade shows, promoting and hopefully trying to sell the design to a large manufacturer to mass produce them. Things were looking good until the invention of the jet engine and jet ski. Shortly after an incident resulted in a lost law suit and all venture capital, spelling the end of the Streekers.

Check out the full episode at http://CalSunTV.com The History of Seabreeze Boats from http://www.seabreezeboats.ca/index.html Seabreeze Boats have been in the boat manufacturing business since 1988. Seabreeze Boats Inc. is the second incarnation of Fiberglass Works which continues to delight boaters with innovative designs and offers tremendous value. Glen Meadus (president) purchased Fiberglass Works in 2003, bringing improved fiberglass boatbuilding techniques. Glen has exceptional experience in marketing fiberglass techniques and products to the boat manufacturing industry. This is where he learned from the experts - those that were building some of the best fiberglass boats in the world. Glen set out for Seabreeze Boats to create a fishing boat with great offshore capabilities. He now expanding upon this objective by adding more of the comforts recreational boaters require. And still keep the 'north atlantic proven' design which allows one to stay out on the water when all else has headed to shore. Glen and his team have created an everyman's boat - the ideal cottage boat, trailer boat, tow sports boat and fishing boat. With safety in mind, Seabreeze Boats are spacious enough to carry a family, light enough to be trailerable and fast enough to satisfy the most dedicated boater.

Gold was discovered here by Francis Anderson on September 14, 1849. Anderson had joined Phil A. Haven that same year along the North Yuba River. Downieville was founded in late 1849 during the California Gold Rush, in the Northern Mines area. It was first known as "The Forks" for its geographical location at the confluence of the Downie River and North Fork of the Yuba River. It was soon renamed after Major William Downie (1820-1893), the town's founder. Downie was a Scotsman who had led an expedition of nine miners, seven of them African American men, up the North Fork of the Yuba River in the Autumn of 1849. At the present site of the town they struck rich gold, built a log cabin, and settled in to wait out the winter. By 1850, Downieville had 15 hotels, 4 bakeries, 4 butcher shops, and numerous saloons. Josefa Segovia, a young Californio resident of the town, was lynched by a mob on July 5, 1851. The lynch mob held a mock trial, and accused her of killing an American miner. The mock trial quickly led to hanging her from the Jersey Bridge in town. Segovia was the first and only hanging of a woman in the history of California. In 1853 Downieville was vying to become the new state capital of California, along with fifteen other California communities to replace Vallejo. The capital was moved to Benicia for a year, and then in 1854 to Sacramento. The Northern Mines area of the gold rush had a number of mining camps with colorful names, such as Brandy City (originally known as Strychnine City), Whiskey Diggins, Poverty Hill, Poker Flat, and Camptonville. Many of these camps disappeared after the gold rush or became ghost towns. Downieville had reached a peak population of over 5,000 people in 1851, but by 1865 had significantly declined. It survived due to its status as the county seat of government in Sierra County, and from its geographic location between Sacramento Valley and Tahoe region/Nevada destinations.
