  • Drifting along in the Meatball

Dewey was out of town so I took the meatball out for the Out 'n' Back fun race. After a small rainstorm blew through extremely light conditions prevailed. We got a tow out to the course, and hung close to the line to make the start. I ended up having to port tack the whole fleet, but given the light conditions I was able to make it work without issue. We spent the next couple hours looking for the breeze whenever we could find it. We made it about halfway to the bridge, aided greatly by putting a spinnaker up on a reach once we made it above 6A. Once Vlad rounded the bridge, winning the "out" honors, we headed back. A fun, relaxing day on the water and a nice sail.
