#70 Wednesday night Fun Race... We were between race series last night and we had the scheduled "fun race." The first boat to the bridge had to radio to the fleet that they had made the turn. The rest of the fleet then made an about face and headed for the finish. It's a race that promotes "sand bagging" and Tommy and Steve Birchfield are experts at the strategy!

#69 Kayaking with Shannon off the beach. The two of us paddled together to the bump-out spot on the cliffs. It was great time together, just the two of us!

Back on Barba Roja, and with DJO, in very light air, we finished second to Shamal, beating out Anna Marie and Knot Enough! We took 3rd for the weekend.

#76 My plans changed. I did not race on Barba Roja, but instead sailed on Aloha Spirit. The main tore badly, so I sailed under yankee only to #76, running beside the CRCA fleet. They looked fast!

#64 To beat the heat, I got up early and got on the water early. The Bay was teaming with life! Ospreys, Herons, Bald Eagles, thousands of jellyfish, and maybe even a snake. It was good to be on the water and it was a good arm workout.

#63 By the time I got out there, the conditions had changed. Paddled into a good breeze of 15 knots and the chop that goes with it to the Breezy Point property line and back. It was hot and it made for a good workout!

#62 Gov Cup warm up. This was the Sharps Island Light Race and we ran out of wind. We reported position and retired from the race at Red 78. It ended up being a great team-building day for 5 of the crew that will onboard for the overnight Gov Cup Race.

#61 This morning was about being on the water, not my speed through the water. The sky was simply amazing!
