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!!

George- I went TI, Red Rock, then Blackhaller all to port. Just played the shifts and went for the greatest breeze off of Richmond on the way to Red Rock. Once north of Richmond I tended to get closer to the shore to stay clear of the current. The Moore 24 that took first overall and beat us banged hard into Richmond just as the breeze died for us on our way north, he made out but not by much. Tom

:: OK, Whch way did the lead E-27's go? I went TI, Red Rock
:: and then Balckhaller...all to port. I did notice that
:: some non-E-27's took TI to starbord and made out by
:: finding wind betwween TI and Oakland. Also, It appeared
:: to be much faster to go rumline to Red Rock. The greater
:: wind more than compensated for the lighter ebb current
:: if you stayed east.
