Today's route
Out racing on a Tuesday this week on account of the 4th falling on our usual Thursday. I took Zach from Dangerous for his first time dinghy racing. We had favorable conditions and a great start, were third around the top mark, second around the bottom, and just as we went to turn up I heard the tiller handle clatter to the aft deck. After a couple seconds I realized it had split on a seam and was barely attached. I carefully steered the boat down, retired from the race, and headed in. Not a difficult fix, but still annoying that it ended an otherwise perfect sailing day.
