[C320-list] Veracruz Regatta

[Larry Frank]

I am glad you made it back in one piece.  I'd be interested in your
description of the weather that struck Cynthia Woods.  I remember this boat
from two years ago when I did the race and the surviving adult crew member
looked very familiar.   All sailors who venture offshore should consider
what they can do in light of this tragedy to improve the chances of survival
for their crew.  I know I have.

I am in Corpus Christi.  I am in Houston often on business.  Maybe we can
get together.  Where are you located?

Are you going to the Regatta?  I'll be there.

Larry

Chris,

I just went to the race tracker site and see the race starts today.  I
thought the race started last Friday.  I guess you cannot finish before the
start time. 

If you get a chance to see this before departure - fair winds and good
sailing.

Chris,

By now you should be tied up at the Malecon in Veracruz.  Did they build the
Marina as they promised two years ago?  I did the race in my 320 last in
2006.

For those who care.

 

I'm participating in the 600NM race from Galveston to Veracruz, Mexico.  1st
gun is tomorrow at 2PM off the coast of Galveston.  I'm sailing in PHRF Spin
A aboard "La Isla", a 57' C&C.
