Our intrepid bow-woman and all around chief Sancho Shana is sailing the 2012 Pacific Cup aboard Bequia, a Beneteau 411 out of Richmond YC.

As she put it “I finally get my own Hawaii race”.
Good luck and strong winds, Bagley. Give ’em hell Shanti style.
Kaneohe or bust!
First SF bay sail of S/V Quixote. Brian and Bambi, Kevin D and Elizabeth D, Betsy and Mel, and of course Heather and CBug. Eli brought a nice bottle of Roederer to toast and casually christen.
Up to the gate reaching, outside to bash a few ocean swells, gybe, gybe, gybe, grab a mooring ball for beers and lunch at Alaya cove, back in time for dinner.

Raced in the j/105 February midwinter regatta with Racer X. Had some great Peruvian food in the city afterward with Phillip and Nicole.
HKE and I took a (hopefully well-deserved) week off and headed back down to the BVI for a week of cruising with my brother Mike and his wife. We rented a Beneteau 352, the smallest boat I’ve ever chartered. It turned out to be a perfect size for two friendly couples, and really economical with the “captain’s discount” and the “holy crap no one rents sailboats during great depression 2.0 discount”.
Swim, sail, anchor, snorkle, drink, sail, anchor, drink, snorkel, drink, swim.
The spare halyard put to good use
Marina Key
The usual misery
Marriage counseling
Shana and Bob, sailing friends, tie the knot.
Fair winds and good holding.
Paul from the Olson 911 “Plus Sixteen”, who was a huge help in our TransPac Campaign (giving us a #4 jib, as well as a ton of helpful advice) is racing in the double-handed division of the Pacific Cup.
Best of luck, Paul. Stay safe, stay sane.
Update: Paul and Tony have taken 2nd in the double-handed catagory. Congrats!
