Varnish,

Me, too - in '92. When did you do the race? I hated to miss the Half
Crown Club meeting this past May but was headed south to Bermuda and
the Turks and Caicos.

(But, then, my boat sank in that race...)

It was a good party. I did the race this year, in a boat callled Ayesha
- a good old cruising boat, really. I wasn't there to win, only to get
to the far side, which I did. There were many retirements this time -
nearly half the fleet.
I've left the boat in Mystic for winter, looking forward to the return
trip next year.
