Middle of Winter SSS cruise-out

Rabbit Start:

A RACE? I thought this was a cruise-down. I don't want to spill the chili! Why, that means I'll have to repack my spinnaker. And wear my lucky shirt. Where is that lucky shirt? I'm already entered in the chili competition.
 
...oh, way up there off of the Berkley pier, I will have to spend the night in Clipper to make it by 10a. Anybody want to raft?

Maybe call it a pop-up race, like Nathalie's ZYC Race?

Well, "Pop-up Race"?

If people just don't want to be that organized, then that's fine with me, but I wrote "Meet at TI at 10:30, rabbit start, round Alcatraz, then down to Brisbane" a month-plus ago.

If folks don't want to do that, I don't care. It's just that Dave (I think it was Dave...) wrote, "If you make it, they will come". So I made it.

I'm not married to the "little bit of competition" aspect to it.

The rabbit start caught my interest. The thong, not so much.

Oh, I misread that...
 
This is like Telephone (the game) - the description grows with each post.

No, I told Jackie that Rags only cruises when the weather is tropical. Then I can wear thongs ... on my feet.

Domino is coming as well.

Are we doing our board meeting on the water? We're talking about the 20th, correct ;)

If I can ever get my oil and filter changed (it's been too long), then I should see ya'll at TI. I also have all this PVC and duct tape on the boat that is a mock up of the eventual solar panel arch....I'm starting to get a reputation in my marina. Anyway, my life these days is so harried, that I'm having a hard time committing to anything, but there are so many people going, I'm also having a FOMO attack....

The Throng continues to divide and multiply.

Carliane on Kynntana, Freedom 38 + PVC proto-arch.

Bob + thong continue to hang in there on the periphery of the dividing megathelion on Ragtime Ver. 9, ex-U.S.S Missouri.

With 24 hours to go to lockdown, The Throng is looking unstoppable.

================================

And that's a wrap! Sign ups are closed! Now I suppose you could show up Saturday and sail down with us, then raft up and made sad-puppy eyes at the Sierra Pt. YC social chair... or eat dinner on your boat!

The harbormaster seems to sound very picky about exactly how we tie up but when I called, says that his "assistant" will be assigning tie-ups and maybe guest berths. I haven't heard from her. It's $10/night. Anybody who doesn't want to pay up, just tell me...I'll cover your $10, no worries.

Notwithstanding the ten bucks, it looks like I got conflicted on Saturday with that arch so Kynntana won't be coming, but I'm likely drive up on Saturday for dinner. I also really don't want to miss out on The Throng....
