Managed to get out on Friday afternoon with my sister, who had not been able to join me at all in 2020, so we had a great 'get re-acquainted with the sailboat' time for 2 hours on Friday afternoon.  Winds 7 with gusts to 10 from the S; air temp in the 80's.

With that practice under her belt, my sister then joined my brother and I to race in the first Friday Night series of the Round Bay Sailing Association.  Joined by two other boats, a 31 footer and a 39 footer, we had a leisurly sail from Lindstead pier to Long Point and back.  The 31-footer had line honors, followed by the 39 footer, but I'm waiting for the handicapping math to be done, since it is conceivable that we might end up on top.  Was a lovely evening in any event, and pretty darn special to be able to sail with my brother and sister, and to race with them for the very first time ever.  And the first time I'd ever had my spin up without my normal Wednesday night crew, since my brother learned how to get the spin up -- and jibe with her!  Wind S and pretty light, but enough to get the big boats moving.
