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 was imagining that we would all take our trailers down there. While its possible, I don't like the idea of motoring or sailing from SC to HMB in the Express.

:: :: -- 1st weekend.  feeder race to Monterey
:: :: 
:: :: -- 2nd weekend.  bouy races around Monterey/Stillwater.  Race to SC... this is likely to be a close fetch, so perhaps we would just make it a "cruise" or something.

:: :: -- 3rd weekend.  Nationals @ SC.
:: :: 
:: :: --race from SC to Monterey (I suppose this could even be the long-distance race for the nationals?).
:: :: 
:: :: -- 4th weekend.  races in Monterey/Stillwater area
:: ::
:: :: OK, perhaps this is a bit much... many folks may not be

:: :: Anyway, just some more thoughts...

:: :: :: If we had the National in Santa Cruz it might be wise &

:: :: :: bay area which would help to offset the time and expense
:: :: :: of moving the boats. There the Dolphin regatta at MPYC
:: :: :: and the Santanarama held by Stillwater Yacht club out of
:: :: :: pebble beach which offer a great beach party and BBQ
:: :: :: plus sailing in one of the most beautiful areas of
:: :: :: Carmel overlooking point Lobos!
:: :: ::
:: :: :: Plus a potential down race from Santa Cruz to Monterey -
:: :: :: 22 Miles

:: :: :: Just a thought!
