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 thinking of you coming down and sailing on one of our fleet boats here some long weekend (one per boat as a "guest") to save you the hassle of dragging your boat down.

We are in the middle of our Berkeley Mid-Winters racing. Last weekend the weather was about 72 degrees with winds from 5 - 14 kts, which is pretty perfect sailing weather, even if we didn't get our expected "ride" downwind. The Berkeley (berkeleyyc.org) Mid-Winters are the 2nd weekend in Nov, Dec, Jan, Feb. Corinthian Mid-Winters are the 3rd weekend in both Jan and Feb. Both the Corinthian Mid-Winters weekends are long weekends I believe (MLKing B-Day and Prez B-Day).

Glad there might be some interest.

:: The Moxie crew would definitely be interested. The only

:: are times when I wouldn't want to be dragging a boat
:: trailer through there. The east route through Bend can
:: be a little better, but also weather dependent.
::
:: The two Hood River boats are typically on their trailers
:: until April. Keep us posted.

:: :: Just a thought.
