Golden Isle is a five-acre paradise for water-skiers in the delta.
Owned by what appears to be the nation's oldest water ski club, the
island is ringed by 28 docks leading to handsome cabins and campers
with kitchens and bathrooms. It's only accessible by boat.

But paradise has a problem.

Contra Costa County building inspectors hitched a ride on Wednesday
with the sheriff's marine patrol to Golden Isle, where they spent two
hours red- tagging all 28 buildings -- many built in the 1970s -- for
demolition...

....The culture-clashing crackdown started in 2002. A homeowner on
17-acre Salisbury Island, who wanted more electricity, contacted
Pacific Gas and Electric Co., which in turn called the county when it
found that all the residents used a single feed.
