What a fun race with 8 people on board. Plenty of talented hands, plenty of rail meat. I really enjoy going out on this boat.

Chalk talk
Rainbows on the race course
I got ambitious on the first start and flubbed it, still finished middle of the fleet. The second start went perfectly and we won by several boat lengths. Everything I felt good tonight.

Motored past the Rainbows doing SNR in light airs
Stopped to chat along the way
Helped sail the schooner Tom Swift from the boat yard to its home slip. Well, mostly motor-sailed, the wind was very light. Still, a very pleasant evening with Todd.

The view from the rail
We raced short handed, with cross sheeting and no spin. Great practice.

Tight racing
Another successful Monday Night Races. Not my best sailing, but I wasn't super late on the start and I tacked to stay in phase, and I was beating everyone to the to mark but on port tack. A couple of ducks and a precision tack left me in third, a crap rounding got me to fifth, and a solid downwind had me finish in third.
A lot of work and a bunch of valuable reps. 10/10 will do again

Trap and Spin is the name of my next punk band
I only joined for the last 90 minutes of this
Just a glorious sunset
After a morning spent watching G practice trap/spin 420 with a teammate from over the summer, I had the option to jump on Tom Swift for the evening. We watched the Rainbows Sunday Night Races on a wonderful late summer evening. Thanks, Todd, for another wonderful sail!

The fearless crew
Sunset after racing
Tonight I decided we'd do lots of tacking in the shifty conditions, and it paid off. As our maneuvers got better during the course of the races, or performance improved, and we won the last race after an epic tack battle with Zephyr when we forced her to cross outside the finish line.
An absolutely glorious evening for it, too

Sunsets and Rainbows
It was a Smith Island cake of a sunset
The real sailing is the friends we made along the way
To late to catch the actual sunset over back Creek
Start practice paid off and we did pretty well. A couple of third place finishes, a middle of the pack, and a second, IIRC.
