Sadie Hawkins Race

By Christine Weaver | February 24, 2012 | Alameda |

"When ah fires my gun, all o’ yo’ kin start a-runnin!" exclaimed Hekzebiah Hawkins in Al Capp’s Li’l Abner comic strip. Sadie Hawkins Day is not until February 29, but that’s a Wednesday, so Island YC will observe it tomorrow. Gals, this is your chance: Grab the helm and go racing on the Estuary. You can still enter, right up until the 11:30 a.m. skippers’ meeting at the clubhouse in Alameda Marina.

Mary McGrath’s J/105 Racer X crosses the finish line in 2011’s Sadie Hawkins. You can sail this race singlehanded, doublehanded, or with full crew of any gender, but the skipper must be female.

Consistently Inconsistent
As much as we love Mexico, we have to say enforcement of its immigration policies often tends to be inconsistent from port to port — and sometimes from month to month.
