Last upwind leg of the night
Doing our best to hold the boat down
Had great downwind legs all night
First successful Thursday night of the season (got rained out a couple weeks ago). Crewed on Tommy Birchfield's Mutineer for the first time and had a blast. 15kts of breeze and 180lbs combined crew weight made things pretty interesting for the first two races, but the wind died down a bit for the third and we had our best results of the evening. I've only been out on small boats a few times so I did lots of learning & getting up to speed with the boat. Looking forward to crewing again & pushing the boat faster.
