Oyster Palma Regatta 2017

An awesome crew with Devon, Stuart Finnerty, Lucy Holloway, Craig & Gigi Barto, Tim Bebe, Brad Kelly.  We were in Class 2 with 5 other 575's and four 60 footers. Three bullets and a throw out 3rd.
Trophies each day and a first in Class perpetual for Class 2.

The "Rock"

Kevin, Brad, Stuart and I moved the boat on September 17th from Portimao, Portugal to Palma.  Along the way we stopped in Gibraltar to take on fuel and fix a coolant leak on the engine.  We saw 40 knots of wind leaving Gibraltar on our way to Cartagena.  We over-nighted in Cartagena where there was al Roman / Spanish festival honoring the many battles between the two.
On to Ibiza and the great cove at Portinaix.  We arrived in Palma on the September 23rd.
