St Petersburg to Isla Mujeres, 2007

In 2007 the Minnow entered the Mexico Race, the Regata del Sol al Sol. It's a race from St. Petersburg, Florida to Isla Mujeres, Mexico. Our crew, or what passed as a sailing crew, was Mike Fullerton, Steven Webster, Mike Webster, and Bob Webster. One of our competitors (who happened to be ahead of us at the time) lost a rudder off the coast of Cuba. We tied onto them and towed them on to Mexico with our motors. It was a lot easier than trying to drive by hand with a spinnaker up.
