This is our SSA sponsored DS Spring Invitational regatta which is called the DS Chesapeake Open - a two day regatta. We didn't race on Saturday however since Mary-Sophia and I raced on Break Away in the Women's Regatta.
Sunday we raced out in SSA Area D - and the start was near the mooring field not far from the Radio Towers at the mouth of the Severn River. We had Windward Leeward courses in moderate Southerly breezes. The highlight of our day was one upwind leg when we chose to go to the left side of the course. Suddenly we saw a dolphin jump off our starboard side! Then two on the port side and one to our stern! We just slowed down took off our mind off racing and enjoyed their company. This is the first time I had seen dolphins in the Severn River! What a treat it was for me and my crew Mary-Sophia Smith.
