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!!

I'm sad to let you know there will be a memorial service for Tom Baffico (E27 Baffett) next Friday July 31 at 1pm at the Allied Arts Guild in Menlo Park. There are also plans for a memorial some evening about a month from now at the St Francis, details to follow.

Tom was a well liked and well respected skipper in many fleets over the course of his life, including the Open 5.70, Express 27, Snipe and El Toro as well as collegiate racing at UC Berkeley. Please help us get the word out to friends and acquaintances who may not be on these mailing lists.
