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!!

Yea - squeezing in this one between the Delta Ditch and the Trans-Tahoe regatta is too difficult for me.

Elite Keel was scheduled the same day as the SSS Farallones race which had 5 Expresses on the line.

:: To schedule a regatta the following weekend after Ditch
:: Run is poor planning, as it makes it a rush to get the
:: boat back to the city. If you trailer home you need a
:: weekend for two to work on the rig before stepping it.
:: The weekend of the 17th is the Delta Do Da party at Owl
:: Harbor, which makes a great stop over if your motoring
:: home. Better yet plan on staying through 4th of July and
:: enjoying the delta.
