| Norcalsailing report featuring Summer Palace:
http://www.norcalsailing.com/entries/2012/06/05/ditchrun2.html#.T-iWoI2Mfqs Below quoted from Pressure Drop: Drew Scott was helming a F-28. "My crew is starting to swing around to pick me up when El Raton, in perfect control slides up beside me and asks if I would like to get picked up. They had already doused their chute and stopped beside me. I took their offer and got back into a boat (trying to stop a lightweight trimaran next to someone when it is blowing in the mid-20s is not easy so I figured I would not turn down El Raton. My crew ably finished the race on Papillon, only one boat behind El Raton! And I had many adventures with El Raton, but that is their story to tell. So, a great big thank you to the Ray Lotto and the crew of El Raton for pulling my soggy hide out of Suisun Bay!! Drew Scott Papillon (most of the time)" |

It was a great weekend. I think there were a few new boat owners out which is great for the fleet.
Motorcycle Irene actually went around clockwise and only finished a couple of boatlengths behind us (CCW), while Witchy Woman (also CCW) finished a couple of boatlengths ahead of us.
I can testify that there was no "big thinking" on our boat. We felt that CW was better for current through Raccoon Straits, but we weren't that excited about a long beat to Alcatraz. So after going back and forth many times we decided on CCW about 5 minutes before the start. It was more of a lucky guess than a well thought out plan.
See you on the water.
