Cliff Haddox just got the Musica fixed so he can enter the HMR.  He wants to have an all female crew so we can try to get the Luna Trophy.  If you don't know...  Musica was the overall winner of the 2011 Bacardi Cup. Elapsed time was 18:23:05!!!! Got to Port Aransas at 9 on Friday morning!!!

Please drop me a note at liz.biss@gmail.com if you want to crew or if you know of someone who will.

Thanks!!

I haven't seen anyone mention the All Woman's trophy so far.  Are any of you fine, upstanding (or not) ladies planning on racing?  I'm not nearly ready to skipper a boat and besides a J-24 is too small to enter, but I'd really enjoying crewing on a bigger (and maybe drier) boat.  According to Andrea, this year a male owner's representative will be allowed.

If you are even just thinking about thinking about entering, please get in touch with me.  I even like to cook and I don't get seasick.
