We took a three day break from the sailbbatical to attend the raft race, which has been an annual tradition for me since 1980. This pic shows the beginning of next year's raft, which should be more suitable to the smaller crew sizes we've had this decade. It will be great to have a boat that can be moved and assembled with only two people!
This year, the weather was the worst ever in the 44 year history of the race, with some level of rain throughout the race. At least the severe downpours moved through well before the start, and the forecast thunderstorms never materialized.
Todd and I took the simple approach and did the race in kayaks, finishing soaking wet but well in advance of the fleet of rafts.
