Karma Finishes 1st in Verve Cup Distance Race August 16, 2016 A shifty Saturday of racing turned out well for the short-handed crew of Karma.

Winn joins Steve Mathias, Christina Cordero-Chadwick, Scott Seifert, Seth Morrell, Jack Buoscio, Martin Sandoval and Lou Sandoval as the 8th...
Big Sable in site. Crossing tacks with the lead two 40.7s, SeaLark , and a 395 in our plan to clear Big Sable point. Offshore of us we have a couple of multis. Nice afternoon heat- time to peel off some layers. ____________________________________ Sent via BlackBerry from AT&T Wireless
