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!!

Congratulation to all the express 27 in the Pac Cup! Salty Hotel, Mirage and Dianne for their overall efforts and results. It was really great to watch the fleet position reports.

I hope that soon we will all get a recap on the whole adventure as well as some guidelines that will help other boats prepare for the 2006 Pac Cup. It would be great help in planning to have some idea of overall cost and preparations for this race as well as getting the boat home?

Maybe we can get six boats for 2006!

:: Ralph,
