Phoebe- To me, the idea of a pickle boat flag is very enticing. It’s definitely caught my attention!

We were just in front of Rascal which was in our class on a another Catalina 34, Kaos, with a broken engine, second to last place. We couldn't retire, we had to sail to the Island for the engine part we needed, and the 6 of us was hoping Rascal didn't retire.

What a story! It gave me the feels, for sure. And what a good sport, throwing a pickle party. I love it.

You will LOVE it. And I'll see you there next year. Please know that people make hotel reservations up to a year in advance, so plan accordingly. The Bayview Mackinac Race is 7/12/25. Basically, chaos from Sun-Tues. (Stay cool in Scottsdale. !!)
