Rob placed last overall. That’s no surprise but what was a surprise was that he finished just 50 minutes behind the last boat, on corrected time. Remember, he finished over two hours after everyone else.
But we’ve already signed up for another race — the infamous Vallejo Race. It’s a fun run from Treasure Island up to Vallejo which means lots of spinnaker time. And I’ll be on the boat this time so we might do a little better, though I have no illusions about when we’ll be crossing the finish line — dead last! As a matter of fact, this is what we expect to see the whole way.

My congratulations to Rob on his first race in Tess!! The interior of Tess is beautiful, I can’t believe the change from the opium den look.
