| Norcalsailing report featuring Summer Palace:
http://www.norcalsailing.com/entries/2012/06/05/ditchrun2.html#.T-iWoI2Mfqs 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!! Drew Scott Papillon (most of the time)" |

I never trailer back because its a 9 to 11 hour motor sail back. And who wants to hassle with the hoist at SSC after the race? I certainly don't, especially when the parties already underway.
SSC has assigned me a berth for up to a month in prior years for those who want to stay over in the Delta.
Easy to get crew home after the race; on ther RYC bus or Amtrack which my crew has always preferred.
See you on the Ditch Run.
