Wish us luck! We (crew of six) will be sailing off at noon Friday along with 450+ other sail boats (I know its not a fast heart pounding race) on a 38' sail boat. We should arive in Mexico about 28 to 31 hours later just in time for Saturday night Margaritas, and Lobster. Lets hope for alot of wind. If not we have lots of beer.
While the speed will be about 5-6 knots the fuel comsuption for the whole trip will be 0.
Next weekend Blythe doing 70+ sucking up more fuel then beer.

Good luck! Yes I've heard the booze consumption rate during that race can exceed even a good day on Havasu! Say hello to my brother for me will ya... He'll be in his 36 Beneteau, can't remember the name but he sails out of Cabrillo.
:cool:

good luck! I'll be waiving from my place down in Mexico (just past Puerto Neuvo -aka Lobster alley.) Enjoy taking part in the largest boating race in the world (I think). Cheers!
