7 guys on a 46' Bavaria Cruiser racing from Annapolis to Hampton, 120 miles -- what could go wrong?!
Had a great adventure, even after the wind died about 3 hours into the race. Wind seemed to show up and then leave every 2-3 hours the first day. Kept up until midnight, after which it shutdown completely. When our watch came back on at 4 am, there was clear agreement we had to turn the engine on, otherwise we'd never get to Hampton. So we did. Really, Really thick fog, so watched radar contacts closely, as well as in the water to avoid crab pots. Got some blissful sleep, woke up and arrived in Hampton with the sun. Hoisted the sails to dry them out, and then headed into clean up the boat and ourselves in the Hampton Yacht Club, which has a pretty sweet location. Loved flying the huge spin on this boat, as well as checking out the huge container ships in Hampton Roads.
