  • A fine crew!
  • The Barba Roja, as seen from the end of Solomons

Today was the first Spring Frostbite race at SMSA, and the start of the racing season in Southern Maryland. I helmed the Barba Roja today and we managed a very strong third place finish in a field of six boats. The wind was gusty and shifty, and I was reminded that I still need lots more practice time behind the wheel. Overall a great race and a great start to the season!
