[C38] Oregon Offshore

[Steve Smolinske]

That sucked! Forecast was for nothing much during the delivery, rounded Pt. Wilson got in the straights with 25 knots right on the nose, built to 35 with fog and 0 visibility, couldn’t see past the bow, four hours of not being able to see the waves coming, we pulled into Pt Angeles to see if it would clear up, tried again at 4am still blowing 25, recalculated our arrival time to the Columbia bar and decided crossing it at night with a full ebb was not a good idea.  What a bummer I really like that race. Oh well boat and delivery crew safe and at home to try again another day.

	Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming; "WOW-- What a Ride!"

	Glad to be back in the season!  Heading down the coast tomorrow to Astoria for the Oregon Offshore.  We plan to arrive Wednesday with a few hours to spare before the skippers meeting.  Race Tracker will be up at www.oregonoffshore.blogsot.com on Thursday, race starts at 10.   Delivery can be followed at www.peregrine-cat38.blogspot.com links on the right hand side for spot and marine vessel tracker.   

	 

	Should be a good race we have a competitive class most of the boats if not all are veterans of the race.  Will be breaking in a first time offshore racer, Peter Lagan a fellow C38 owner.
