Right Boat for the Job
Most sailors wouldn’t dream of sailing from Puget Sound to San Francisco in the middle of winter.

"When ah fires my gun, all o’ yo’ kin start a-runnin!" exclaimed Hekzebiah Hawkins in Al Capp’s Li’l Abner comic strip. Sadie Hawkins Day is not until February 29, but that’s a Wednesday, so Island YC will observe it tomorrow. Gals, this is your chance: Grab the helm and go racing on the Estuary. You…
