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!!

:: Is it windy in the morning/early afternoon there? Its
:: obviously usually pretty tame on the Bay till 1-2PM. I
:: know easiest chance I would have to convince my Dad
:: would be doing something the Sunday following the Ditch
:: and just drive home that evening rather than morning.
::
:: :: After Delta Ditch Run Stay Over
::
:: :: I've contacted the Stockton Sailing Club Harbor Master
:: :: and Port Captain and found there are open dry storage
:: :: places available after Delta Ditch Run. If Express 27's
:: :: would like to stay after to dry out, explore the Delta
:: :: or even have a fun regatta after DDR please let me know.
:: :: Also if you would like to stage your boat before going
:: :: to Portland, Lake Tahoe, holding for Huntington Lake or
:: :: returning to SF Bay - spots are available.
::
:: :: If boats would like a fun race and a BAR B Que there are
:: :: open weekends. June 11 or 12 and June 18 or 19. There
:: :: are SSC Wednesday Night Races and of course the
:: :: SSC/RYC/SCYC Junior Sail Camp happening July 9-16th. For
:: :: the insane, there is the South Tower Race.
::
:: :: Please let me know how long you would like to stay and
:: :: your email. There will be a charge and the Harbor Master
:: :: will forward paperwork. First five boats get a spot for
:: :: DDR at the SSC yard instead of parking at public launch
:: :: ramp. Can handle up to 10 boats.
::
:: :: Please let me know if interested in a fun race with
:: :: dates and times. 'Andale will be spending the summer at
