Had a great start to the race, wind picked up as we crossed the bay and with under 2 miles to getting to the first mark of the course, jibed the boat and the mainsail ripped. Oh well...next year. We saw numerous gust between 25-32 kts.

Had one of our families long time friends come and visit, so of course had to take him sailing. Got out into the river and of course...no wind, but it was a pleasant evening none the less.

Although the wind didn't cooperate, it was a beautiful day to just be outside and on the water. Great friendship, snacks & of course beverages with a lovely sunset. Saw several other SMSA sailors who had the same idea.

Decided to sail on a beautiful Wednesday evening when we finally had some wind. Tried out the spinnaker furler...again...and still not the results we are looking for. So we'll be visiting the Harken booth at the boat show.

After continuing to review the weekend weather forecast, we elected to not sail in the AYC to Solomons race. The weather window was best for coming home the day after the boat was delivered to Annapolis.
At this point the race organizers had not yet canceled the event due to the impending tropical storm.

Took Mark's folks for a ride when they were in town. Think they like powerboats better.
