3rd place out of 3 in light air to begin with, then it picked up on the last leg. After finishing the race my crew wanted to get some spinnaker practice in so rather than go back to the club for drinks, hoisted the spinnaker and had a wonderful sail.

Disappointing performance ion a day when the 16-20 knot wind should have brought a win, Luna Blu placed 4th out of 6 boats. Shorthanded with only 2 crew, we got a late start but closed the gap by the windward mark, but just couldn't get the boat moving faster on the downwind leg to catch the boats ahead of us, and not enough distance on the final upwind leg to catch any boats. Crew and Skipper were exhausted by the time we got back to Old Point, but it was a fun race.

Short crewed, poor start (I hate rabbit starts) , ripped headsail, crew with injured back, typical race day for Luna Blu- however, there was wind and we had a great day on the water...

On an cloudy evening where the winds were blowing 13-16 kts and with a slight chill, Luna Blu had signed up for Race Committee. Dang the bad luck, the only race with wind! John, Brian, Steve and John joined me and the race sequence went without a hitch. After the starts, we settled in for a Moma Rosa's submarine sandwich supper and waited for the boats to finish. All of the boats finished with a bone in their teeth, would have made some great pics had I thought about it at the time... The only thing we forgot was to take pics!
