Wow, Bob. Back in 1978 I organized, held, and participated in the original Single Handed Sailboat Race from Port Huron to Mackinaw Island. Know the Mac race and have done that one as well. Bay View always puts on a good race. David Hoyt Sovereignty Catalina # 65 In a message dated 8/4/2009 9:47:57 A.M. Eastern Daylight Time, [email protected] writes:
Pictures (and video) I took during my first Port Huron to Mackinac Island race are here, for those interested: _http://community.http://cohttp://cohttp://com_ (http://community.webshots.com/user/lsscphotos) Look in the album PH2Mac. Every participating boat had a transponder so that shore-bound people could follow the race (updates hourly, I believe). About 9 hours into the race we went into stealth mode (transponder not reporting) which made for some anxious spouses on shore! We covered the 290 +/- miles in a little over 61 hours, placing 6th in our fleet of 6 NA40 boats. We experienced winds ranging from 0 to 21 knots during the race and fog. It was quite an adventure and I look forward to doing it again next year! Bob Mann [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] **************A Good Credit Score is 700 or Above.
