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!!

How may people are motor/sailing their boats back from Stockton?

Desperado has for the last several years and its easy . . . no hyper anxiety at the host . . . request a berth and kick back . . . no rounding up the crew to re-step the rig. In fact, they're helping take the boat back.

We pack a 5 horse and 7 gallons of fuel . . . made it back with extra every time.

Chime in on how many are planning to motor/sail back. Make it a caravan.
