Hi Everyone,

After a very emotional send-off, the skipper and crew of the Ada Helen
started the PacCup yesterday at 1:45 p.m.  They had a good start with good
wind.  A member of our Yacht Club was kind enough to take friends and
family up to the starting line in SF on his power boat so we were able to
follow the guys up and talk back and forth, (last reminders to apply
sunscreen!) and witness the start first hand and watch them sail out the
gate.  If you would like to track them you can see them at:

Click on Boat Selector, chose Division C then Boat Selector again.  If you
move your mouse over the dots the names of the boats come up.

If you click on Racers then click on 'Ada Helen' you can see a picture of
the boat.

Everybody please pray for  fair winds and a safe journey!!

All for now,

Carrie
