New photos Delta Ditch Run 2009

Juan driving in gusty winds (while Nat was trying to get some sleep...)

Not sure where that was.

Not sure where that was either!
We motored all night long - then stopped at Vallejo for breakfast and to drop off Heather who had to take the ferry back to the city to make an appointment. If you think I look stupid on this picture (was the 5-7AM shift), don't think outloud please.

Wind and sun in their sails...

Stephanie and Heather looking like they are working hard trimming. And Nathan looking like he's not working hard at all driving

The Delta and the Ditch

And the run
Another bridge we had to pass...





Up we look and downwind we go

One of the three bridges we went under, actually four I think if we count Richmond Bridge right at the beginning.


Nasty looking water color

Nat is driving, Heather is trimming and Stephanie is not sure about what she is doing.

Was Nathan trying to catch other Express 27s BEHIND us?

Getting ready for the start


Downwind start so interestinly right before the start, boats were pretty far away from the line. Spinnakers were not allowed at the start, they went up shortly after though!


Always good to check the competition - see what kind of color assortment they have picked on their boat or check if they have a new line of sails that would look cool on Elise.

Nat and Nat...well, an Elise, also on the picture.

Still roaming around before the start
