We beat our arch nemesis in the last 6 minutes of the race!
Century Club: Ashley Love
Day 2 with Lauren and first time coaching Heather Patterson. The ear to ear smile and the exclamation that gybing was now her favorite thing to do really really made my day.
Lauren's first time on a sailboat! She's a natural...
got stung by a jelly fish. Witnessed a rudder sinking.
We didn't race, but we did leave the dock!
Another light, hot day of racing. Storms almost came in in time to cool us off, but not quite.
Took a couple of Mike's business associates and their kids out for their first sail ever!
Brought the boat south to spend the night closer to the starting line of the Race to Baltimore. Took off in the evening, saw some wildlife, got Garreth "trapezing" while driving with a boat hook attached to the tiller extension. Slept like a log. A bit hot.
race to Baltimore took two start attempts cuz of current. Swimming, doing bow barefoot, did well.
gusting to 24 knots on a J70 with 5 little people. Mike, Todd, Me, Nikki and Wilson. WHAT A BLAST. I learned a bunch from the experience and can't wait to get out in such big weather again!
As a celebration of Dave Gendell's new book!
Todd drive and I did main/tactics with Mike outta town. We FINALLY beat Flying Circus. By quite a bit!
