Checking out the Volvo Ocean Race 70s in Stockholm Sweden

Lucy thinks the new Soup trophy for Opening Day is a keeper!

Hang tight...

Will be working to fill in the gaps from 2004 to 2008 on the blog shortly. :)

In the gorge again. Better crane setup... Additional pictures: http://www.pacificfog.net/photographs/04-08-08-web/

J24 North Americans in Vancouver, BC.

Soup takes part in the J24 North Americans in Vancouver, BC.

Sam's first time driving. ~2004. Shortly after this picture he got his finger stuck in the mainsheet block, learning lessons early...

Some additional pictures from 2004. Matt Davis and the Farthings regulars on the Soup now. Jeanette sailing this year with a some big babysitter bills...

J24s hit the gorge for the first time for the 2003 J24 Western Regionals. Soup is the first willing to try the crane in stevenson, WA. Additional Pictures: http://www.pacificfog.net/photographs/03-08-03-web/index.html

Sailing with the Schenk/Hopper family in '03. Sam Hopper not quite visible (born) yet...

Some other memorable pictures of 2003.

2003 was also the first year of the Oregon Food Bank Free Bowl of Soup Night beer can. What started out as a simple idea turned into a fun event with a live band, and almost $1k raised for OFB.

Meg & Kelly's first sail on the Soup. 1999

First travel regatta. J24 Western Regionals in Seattle, WA. 1999. 14th out of 28. Big lesson in rig tune. Light air, and too tight, 26th in the 1st race. Loosened up the rig and went way outside for more pressure to squeek out the bullet in the next race. http://www.cycseattle.org/1999_specific/J-fest.html. Solid 1st year, including the Fleet27 Championship.
