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!!

Abigail is doing CYC midwinters too. I think other CYC expresses will be as well. If this catches on let me know and Ill tell the old man to talk to the club about keeping visiting Expresses somewhere. I dont think he checks the site really.

Another thought, we could do a little BBQ or something one of the days after racing to get some fleet camaraderie going? If everyone through in $5 or so I could get everything.
