Delivery, Race, Race, Race!

Friday September 25th, my son and I delivered the boat to Annapolis for the AYC race to Solomons. We had a great time and it was a much needed "stay-cation."

Saturday September 26th, we raced from Thomas point to Solomons in just under 8 hours! hugged the rum line almost perfect the whole trip. It was rainy and foggy and we listened to Jazz the whole way! was a great day on the water!

Sunday September 27th, No wind... First day of screwpile, we sat around PR1 waiting for the wind to fill...only to get about 3/4 of a mile of racing in befor they called it for the day. Sad face...lol.

Monday September 28th, WIND!!! WE were able to get 3 races in. We suffered a number a breakages and didnt place well, but we started every race and finished every race. Thats a win in my book! Im looking forward to seeing the pictures on Spinsheet hopfully later today.

Screwpile is only a week away!
