Slow start into a shifty upwind leg. Wind turned off about halfway to the mark and moved around so we put a spin up to try and get some movement. Rain and fog cleared as the day went on but extremely light wind left us taking a slow crawl to the finish. Got to Fort McHenry and RC extended the finish time but with no chance of making it in time we retired. Still a good day on the water. Thanks Lynn for the pictures.

Braved the rain for a quick race. Strong upwind legs and spin work but the bottom is in need of a deep cleaning so it was making us slower.

Another dreary day on the water. Small crew of 5 but RC put up an interesting course and got some good practice free-flying the spin with Mike.

Dreary Tuesday in Baltimore. Slow start and challenging roundings at the mark close to a ship but any day on the watter is a good time. Thanks Lynn for the picture.

Jonathan brought the Spicy Meatball down to Lake Anna for a long weekend with some friends. Got in 3 good days on the boat despite shifty conditions and learned it will pass the "I swear it's a five seater" test. Spent a little time paddling as well to round out a great weekend.

Out on Eighth Deadly Sin for another Wednesday race. Very strong start between two other racers into a good upwind leg. Set up for the downwind and the wind turned off so RC shortened the course to one lap. Great communication between the crew and a very smooth race.

Out on Incorrigible for another Tuesday race. Strong start and first upwind and downwind legs. Fouled another boat due to a bad call on a crossing we thought we could make and had to do circles. Wind lightened towards the end of the race bringing us to a slow finish.

On Eighth Deadly Sin for the first race of series 5. Ideal conditions for the race with good tactics and problem solving from the crew. Truly a perfect day on the water and a good break in the middle of a busy week.
