Georgia(on the right) crewed for me 20+ years ago in Tacoma. We were members of the Tacoma Women's Sailing Association. She and Verna crewed when we moved Sabra to Orcas Island in the San Juans in 1985. I remember leaving about 0500 on a -2.5 ft ebbing tide. We made Orcas in one day. A record time! While I was in the Delta she crewed again and my fondest memory was us bellying up to the bar at Al The Wops in the China Town of Locke to get a lemonade.The bartender was throwing dollars on the ceiling and making them stick. The local TV network news interviewed us. Our famous claim to fame. There is nothing like the Delta.
