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!!

Both of those sound like good fun. I knew of Delta Ditch but had forgotten about the Tahoe races. I can't do any of those races this year but will have to consider it for next year. Thanks for the heads up on these events.

:: Following up on plan to race Tahoe or just cruise Delta:
:: We have open availability for Express 27 to park there
:: boats on there trailer after the Delta Ditch Run till
:: they want to travel to Lake Tahoe Trans Tahoe or even
:: Fresno Lake Huntington Lake. Supporting other ventures:
:: Contact me for space at Stockton Sailing Club :

:: "Andale".
::
:: :: This plan centers around two dates :June 24 Trans Tahoe
:: :: Race , Tahoe Yacht Club, and July 8 Southern Crossing
:: :: Race, Lake Tahoe Windjammers Yacht Club. The basic plan
:: :: is trailer up and launch at Tahoe City during the week
:: :: prior to the Trans Tahoe, do that race and then leave
:: :: the boat at Ross Groelz's dock on the South Shore, or
:: :: cruise around and enjoy the lake or whatever, then do
:: :: the Southern Crossing Race. Then retrieve the boat back
:: :: to the trailer at Tahoe City. The dates can be variable,
:: :: you don't have to do both races. The catch is Trans
:: :: Tahoe Race offers a discounted launch and retrieve that
:: :: we cannot duplicate here on the South Shore.
:: ::
:: :: Ross Groelz has a very accessible and secure dock behind
:: :: his home in residential section of Tahoe Keys in South
:: :: Lake Tahoe. He has offered to let visiting boats tie up
:: :: there, free of charge.
:: ::
:: :: The Trans Tahoe is on the Express 27 distance race
:: :: schedule. It is a point to point race in the north end
:: :: of Lake Tahoe, organized by the Tahoe Yacht
::
:: :: club. The Southern Crossing is a point to point race in
:: :: the southern part of Lake Tahoe organized by the Lake
:: :: Tahoe Windjammers YC. Entry fee are roughly $130 and $60
