| 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)" |

Tom went way south when cutting across from the city front to TI. The moores stayed north and caught a great reverse flow close to the island. I was lower and faster and thought I had them until they got into this stream. Tom made out on us as well with his southern path.
Things got fluky on the east side of the island and I lost W.W. forever. I took it wide, expecting a wind shadow from the island that never appeared, and W.W. hugged the island and rolled past.
There was a lot of flukyness, and holes between TI and Redrock. We kept thinking Melinda E. was hosed, then she would reappear out of a hole way ahead again.
Both Morphine and Gruntled fell into big holes and let W.W. and Magic Bus ahead. Melinda found wind and tide relief inshore.
After Redrock it was pretty much a parade with steady breeze all the way home. We finished with Morphine inches behind. They tossed my crew a beer to try to distract us, but we held them off.
