Rum Race # 7 falls the eve of 911 ten year anniversary, in respect of those of this tragedy, I would like to suggest that if you happen to have and American on board that you fly it. Just my thoughts, the choice is yours to make, spread the word please. "KATANA"
A truly GREAT idea.
Absolutely. The Soverel will be flying the US flag (as well as our class flag ;))
Helpful link (http://www.usps.org/f_stuff/etiquett.html) on flag etiquette, more than you probably ever wanted to know!

Other club (orange) racers...post your times...and we'll put the chicken to work....
Were did the wind come from 18 to 19 knots is was so post to be 8 knots. Figaro you sailed a great race.
As I drove home to Katy Tx(70 miles) I was listening to AM radio( yes I am getting old) and they were replaying talk shows from ten years ago and I makes me think that there is no better place to than USA, and I know this for a fact because my job has me traveling all over the world, I think a fraise from ten years age best describes the American Spirit is ? Let?s roll?! We become stronger when tragedy strikes!
My thanks to all that we able to fly a flag and I would say that ?Moon light Mile? should get and award for flying the biggest flag all the way though the race, well done Ed! And he?s from England, what a great sprit! Cheers to all and a good night!
Never forget!

Great pictures! I really like the one of us on Psyched with the blooper up!!! That blooper was made in the late 70's!!!!!!
Kevin, at one point you guys were right behind us - I looked back and all I could see was that blooper and I was like "Holy CR@P!"
Man I did not know all that was going on around us or that one could take pictures that good from any sailboat. Great shots Trink. Enjoyed having you on board.
