Ice Bowl

Sponsored by SSA this race is held on January 1st yearly. Jan 1st was rainy and windy with a small craft advisory so the race was postponed to Sunday, 1/2/22. Solings, J24's, and Lasers raced.  Warm and Sunny with light winds- we started off the SSA dock  with our chute up on J24 Solstice. Natalie Burls skippered the first half and Dave Waiting the second half of the race. JR Futcher and I crewed. The course took us up the Severn River under the bridges and around St Helena's Island which we chose to round to Starboard (either way around was acceptable). As we then headed back towards SSA the wind was dying so the RC shortened the course in the River before we got to the bridges. I was flying the chute again and we managed to beat the other J24's! 
Natalie popped the cork on a bottle of champagne that I didn't even know we had on board to celebrate!
