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!!

Subject: Chainplate bolts

When was the last time you looked at the chainplate bolts? This past weekend I removed the chainplates and resealed them at the deck. This might have been the first time they had ever been removed. When I retightened the nuts, 3 bolts had the heads fall right off with no effort. After inspecting the others I found another bolt that looked questionable. I threw all the bolts in the same jar when I pulled both sides off, so I am uncertain to whether the sheared bolts came from the same side or not. I'm replacing all of them and just wanted to remind those who possibly have the original bolts to inspect them at the very least.
