Matt, Sharon, Deirdre, Stan, Debbie, and Jeff. The regatta lasted for three days and after each day of racing we celebrated back at the dock on Onnetar. In order to streamline the boat, Stan had removed Onnetar's canvas dodger, so each day was spent sailing out in the direct sun. So, after a bit of refreshment at the dock, we all headed to the pool for a cool down.

One day we decided we needed a theme outfit, so this was the best we could come up with, given what we had to work with.

Stan and Debbie are now in the South Pacific. They left Banderas Bay in late March and arrived in the Marquesas 21 days later. We still talk to them each Sunday on the radio.

Matt and Sharon are in now Hawaii. We spent several weeks sailing with them along the Gold Coast between Puerto Vallarta and Manzanillo. They are planning to return to BC in August. We keep in contact via periodic emails.
