What we do and why we do it

We own a sailboat because it is a place of respite and recreation. Every kind of boat can give some pleasure. A dinghy can take one around  harbor or a lake and with a trailer to the next town or the next State. A daysailer can get the family out in the sun for a few hours and teach them the pleasure of handling the winds and the weather. When we get to ocean going vessels the horizon and the challenge is unlimited on the surface of earth. Whether cruising or racing, every day is an opportunity to deal with a new situation, to learn a new lesson, to see a new sight or have a new thought.

Why "Blue Agave"?

Hey, It's a good SoCal name, somehow arrived at by the original NoCal owner. Blue Agave is a succulent plant. It is untrue that tequila is made from a cactus. Agave is a succulent and is more closely related to amaryllis and lilies. Its juice, when fermented, is generally known as Tequila - Party On!

Blue Agave Racing Schedule

This is the proposed schedule for us to get out there and have some fun. Some months will be busier than others. Let's try to work our schedules so we can do most of the planned events. If you are planning to be AWOL let me know so I can work the crew issues in advance. I will try to keep it three months  ahead so you can plan. It is of course subject to change and revision.

As we find out the start times this table will also include Departure Time >> Meeting time at the dock is 30 minutes earlier. It makes your skipper tense when it is ten minutes before departure time and just three stalwart crew are on board. I will also make a guess as to the time we expect to be back at the dock in case you must bolt on arrival.
