Atlantic Rally for Cruisers Festivities Begin
A total of 240 yachts from 27 countries are gathering in Las Palmas a week prior to the start of the 22nd annual Atlantic Rally for Cruisers (ARC) from the Canaries to St. Lucia in the West Indies. This is a record number of boats for the granddaddy of all cruising rallies. The only West Coast entry is Jerry and Karen Eaton’s Belvedere-based Hallberg-Rassy 43 Blue Heron. Having put in 14,000 miles on the boat in Europe, Karen will be sitting the crossing out, leaving it to Jerry and his buddies.
