was planning on doing it singlehanded but Elise needs some fixing up now so very unlikely

have done it a couple of times and mostly experienced a wind shut down past midnight in the Bay and taking as long to cover the last mile as it took to cover the previous 10 so good to try to arrive before then

other than that, check forecast to see if it is worth going a bit of extra distance offshore to catch the offshore breeze Vs staying closer to land

:: Hi All -
::
:: Tequila Mockingbird is signed up for Spin Cup and I was
:: looking around the previous messanges for any
:: information about the race itself (dealing with
:: Monterrey Bay, tactics, currents, etc....) but couldnt
:: find any.
::
:: Any of the more experienced racers on the site willing
:: to impart some knowledge / thoughts with a noobie?
::
:: For any boats that might be keen, the safety
:: requirements are the NORCAL ORC ones and there are
:: already 5 boats in our div including a Moore 24 (but no
:: e27's yet). It's the weekend after Elite Keel and before
:: Delta Ditch so the turnaround time is a little tight but
:: with Memorial day the Monday after, I am hoping it is
:: doable.
