Drakes Bay - 2 Day Off Shore Race (Overnight)



This race was not for the feint of heart.

Two days of grueling battle with 30 knot winds and 12ft+ swells. John Liebenberg, Ben Mack & Chris Martin won our class that race. Of course that's because every other boat in our class dropped out due to conditions & other races that day.

I am not really as tough as i look in this picture, i was crying like a baby when my legs cramped up as we were pulling into Drakes to anchor. I was a little too cold & wet sitting on that rail all day and quickly found myself being humbled.


I threw in this photo of the less photographed side of Alcatraz, I don't think it fair for tourists to always neglect the bay side of the island.
