Took new sailors out to practice for YGR. We can competently tack and jibe, and even got a little preventer practice in with wing on wing on the way back in.

Took Jason and Jason out for this event and they did great. I think we were mostly middle/lower of the pack but felt good about catching up a good bit after bad starts. Only 2 races, with veeeeeeerrrrrry shifty light wind. We're doing really well in the second at the windward mark when Maggie fouled us and we had to drop below the mark and get back around.

Perfect beautiful night with just excellent gentle-ish wind. Not too much, not too little. Low teens ish from the SW. We were a little short on crew but since it was easy sailing we had no trouble. Also only flew the spin from the sprit so didn't have to manage the pole. Greg got us a great start and then let me drive the rest of the race. Stayed in front the whole time and finished fast. Super fun. Too busy driving to get a pic though. :-(

First time out on a Tuesday night race with Barebones. Got to do spin trim and meet a bunch of new people. Super light air, but a beautiful night.

Pretty challenging conditions for a pre-checkout lesson with Chad. Wind was 10-15 with huge shifts between N and E. Made it quite difficult to plan and execute repeated docking maneuvers in the same orientation. Spent some extra time with him as we had to wait for pauses to get unpinned from the dock quite a bit. He had several good results both up and downwind by the time we called it a day.

Hopped back on Cloudsplitter to race back from Oxford. Had another good start and stayed in front as the wind died almost completely by the time we got to the finish. Took 3 tacks to actually cross the line, but we made it! OrgaZmatron was 0.6nm behind us and finished 90 minutes later. Both other multihulls DNF'd. Really sad about the wind.

Finished first AND kept first place even owing tons of time to Dual Force. Jeff had a great start and we stayed in front the entire time. I learned more about Farrier vs Corsair trimarans too. Light upwind conditions were tricky but manageable. Stayed on Huzzah rafted to Basta overnight, then hopped back on Cloudsplitter for the Hammond cup the next morning.

Mayday/CPR situation called right after we crossed paths with Rosie Bee in our way to the finish. Turned around and Gary, Jeremiah and I boarded to help. Awful situation but glad Greg could get us close enough to hop on and assist.

Beautiful sunny day, wind started at 15 from the east, but dropped a few knots over the next few hours and shifted north. Lots of sailboats out, even crossed paths with Bay Retriever! (Thanks for the pic Kevin!) Worked out settings on the new chart plotter and logistics for race to Oxford next weekend. Great day.

First race of series 4. Back in our side of the river. Almost no wind at all, but we did give it a shot. RC called the whole thing off just when we were almost approaching the first mark. There were plenty who hadn't even made it past the start though. Beautiful evening but a bummer of a sail.
