Yup- and derelict boats are the reason behind the new law.

"Begining March 1st 2020, all vessels 26' in length and greater operating on State waters will be required to have vessel insurance."
The times they are a changing.

Sorry to hear this Alan.
Glad you're coming out for Rocks though.
I sent you a pm for the Garmin.

The PCExpress underwent mast inspection/repairs in Jan. We found some serious ugly at the mast base and cut an inch and a half off the bottom. It's now supported by a nice block of phenolic. Thank...

I'm sure a boat going back on it's own bottom woukd happily take the extra weight and safety.

Agreed

Are they still holding to being vaccinated within 3 months of visiting? If so that cuts out most of my family who've already had shots.
As for me who knows.
The timing on this is pretty tight and...

The approach to SHS on port board was nuts. This race may be cursed!

Just before the park up.
Bombora, Fugu and likely Hedgehog smartly stayed outside. The Pork Chop Express got caught up in the mess but squeezed through.
A real horror show!

Just my humble opinion but the out and back option seems alot more appealing than running down a foggy, ship littered coast singlehanded.
As for testing gear maybe go with 3 crew on CRW and see what...

I would be fine forgoing awards/water taxis etc. but quarantine could be a deal killer.
Moreover, without both shots I'm reluctant to fly back and the little Express is a tough return- plus the wife...

I love Brickyard/Richmond but the 0500 wake up to make the start(s) was no fun this round.

Iridium Go in 2018 Pac Cup- no troubles. This year same deal on Pork Chop.
Go the extra step and install the external antenna.
We ended up very disconnected on that last trip which was kinda nice....

Pork Chop mast plate not seating- didn't see in dark.
Cannot race. Message left with RC.
Sad!

Registration is open.124 spots left.

"We are considering using Berkeley Circle as a separate start/finish line for Singlehanded entries. This will help race committee members stay physically distanced for Covid."
Sounds reasonable.

Ah, I just noticed the spurtle link... my wife even has one aboard. I now know clockwise is the way.

I recall cranking the old Volvo clockwise aboard the Nicholson 32 I grew up on when the starter didn't catch.
A somewhat dangerous affair if you didn't get the engine crank out quickly if it did...

Yesterday was a workout. Light air kite work all day, and towards the finish, against heavy current.
Every physical move to adjust, hoist, trim etc usually resulted in a a loss of speed.

He is wisely heading back to the barn. Chalk it up as an instructive shakedown.

1 vote for Sail Grib which works well with the Iridium Go, is a nice alternative to Predict Wind and Pac Cup/Transpac legal.
It's not Expedition but it's easy to use and the price is right.

Maybe Pier 39. Dredged 2018.
Isabelle Autissier was here in 1994.

I have a 45ft slip -my renter just bailed but depth needs to be checked- it's all yours...

Well done. Congrats on the happy landing.

Visibility in the central bay is nada - ok, maybe 50 feet and has been all morning.
Even with a mask the air is tough on the body - tomorrow into Sunday looks the same or worse.
Rescheduling would...
