Default Regatta del Sol al Sol

http://charthorizon.com/races/2008_t...ujeres/htdocs/

Always a crap shoot traveling w/strangers. Tried explaining to the
skipper and co-captain that using the AP was a violation of the rules of
racing, the co-captain said something positively imbecilic about that
not being in the sailing instructions. Isla Mujeres has changed quite a
bit since the last time I was there, I can understand the locals doing
the race, doubt if I'll do it again, it was more like a regatta than a
race anyways, some of the ratings in the cruising class boats were
pretty off the wall. And I actually got to do a little land travel this
time, the tourist thing. Took all day to visit Tulum but it was worth
the hike. The race/sail down was uneventful, I did not sail back with
these guys. To track the boat, enter "Full Monty", will show the race
track of that boat.

All I've had time to download, have around 400 images to look at, trying
to find the best to post and this desktop has seen better days.
