Century Club: Mario Santana

The wind was great in the morning, so the wife and I tried to reach the Bay Bridge again. We made it in record time on a broad reach, what a glorious day. Then we turned around, as soon as we started to beat back home, the jib head topping broke. The leech got very wrinkly, and the whole jib started flapping something fierce. The wind was so nice, though, that even with a severely compromised sale plan, we had the gunwhale in the water quite a bit, on that long, slow, very loud beat back to the docks.

Then pick up the youngest from kidship, take everyone home for a quick barbecue supper, and back to the club for Monday night races. The wind died down something fierce, how the bay can change over the course of 2 hours. Ben and I let the newbie drive, and after a poor start we made up a few places by playing the current, leaning all the way out to lourd, and keeping the telltales flying in the light breeze. After the finish, we made up a few more places by paddling hard in to dock. 

It was a long day on the water, we'll see if my CTS flares up.

A lovely morning going round and round the buoys with a fellow KBC member.  Then we went up the river to wave at my son G who is getting introduced to the trap and spin version of the 420's he sails in high school.

Great breeze with just enough puffs to warrant easing the main occasionally - perfect for practice and an active morning on the water!

Distance race around government marks.  The waypoints I programmed into iNavx came in very handy!  Will and Rosellyn we're wonderful crewmates.

Took some high schoolers out as part of a field trip.  Very cool group of kids, they were fearless!
