Ferry Real McCoy -- April 13, 2013

In February, 2004, I took this photo of The Real McCoy, built in 1945, as it crossed Cache Slough from a point near Rio Vista to Ryer Island. The Real McCoy was a free running Diesel-powered boat that made the short trip on demand.

This boat was replaced in early 2011 by  The Real McCoy II, built by Nicholas Brothers.  The new boat had dependability problems early in her life.
