And The Winners Are...

I found this great 8 x 10 picture of the group of women cruisers in Mazatlan, who jokingly challenged the men of the Mazatlan Yacht Club to a race around the islands outside of our harbor.  They accepted and it was a scramble to get a real racing team together.  It didn't hurt that we had a world class 44' racing boat to use "Black Swan".  The MYC team boat was short on sails and they tried using one that was too big for their boat, slowing them down a lot.  We had so much fun we wrote a song to sing during our victory lap and the crowd at the harbor entrance joined us in the Macarena as we returned from the race.  





I scrapped the 8 x 10 a while back, but just added the second page that I will enter into the Scrap Our Stash Birthday Celebration challenge #4 - Presents and Bows.  I have newspaper clippings and the song words yet to add to this fun memory.
