Ok what was I thinking. This is during the van isle! Will have to do it next year.
But it's only 31 miles to get there and it's a 18 mile race.
Numbers look good.
How do you not get Red Five out to this race?

I just realized that it is during the 360 as well, so I may be out if I can get on a boat.

Don, I have done Round Bowen almost every year for a long time with the same crew... but not always on my boat. Last year I did it on a brand new Alerion 28. Hard to pass up the ride when it was offered. We were not the fastest last year but we were pretty to look at and Scott can attest that we kept in touch with Natural High for most of the beat.

I'll see if the owner of the Alerion and the group of friends that race together every year want to go back to Red-Five.

^ That's only because I was doing penalty turns.

Sounds like a story.

So have you found a ride for van isle yet Scott?

Nope.

try Gem a far 40.
They had asked me before John through a friend. Not sure if they filled yet.
but they wanted allot of money.

Got any contact info?

Money is an issue. I am not too shook up if I don't find a ride because that brings me one step closer to a new main!! Woop woop!

Regarding ice in the marinas... I added a picture of BoB patiently waiting in the ice for some single handed winter sailing (roller furler loaded). This is in Everett where we sail in salt water, but sleep in fresh water from the Snohomish River. As my Canadian crew memeber notes "we are 500 miles north of Toronto so we should get cold here!"

That's funny. But it will keep the growth on the bottom down.

Scott stay tuned I feel an opportunity coming.

If all else fails post your availability on the race site
