A.I. CyberCruise Mar 4-5, 1995:
From: Ken Schwarz Subject: Mar cruz nch cruze note Date: Mon, 6 Mar 95 11:03:28 PST I'm sure someone will write a compleet synopsis- but just a quickie. Pretty laid back, The rain came in about 8 if I remember right and the party split on to different boats, everyone turned in pretty early by cruze std's- some had races in the early a.m, others had a long haul back. I'm sure the singing early on sure made an impression on the other folks in the cove.

Motered back to Richmond to haul out- There was so little wind that the Toros from RYC were being towed back in, the little boats behind the tow looking like ducklings. Anyway- We dodged most of the rain and Sunday was a pretty good day to be on the bay.

CyberSnoozeCruise Report Teredo, Row'n, and I left Redwood City on Friday evening at about 7PM. There was no wind at Pete's, but by the time we had motored out to the end of Redwood Creek, we found enough to raise the sails and kill the motor. We managed to make some headw
