The fearless crew on Cumulus
The fearless crew on Chinook
Spent the afternoon on Chinook, bearing opening and then flying the kite back down. Thanks to Steve, G, and Jamey for a great time!
Then it was Sunday Night Races at ANSS and a long distance race to the Bay Bridge. Annie and Rebecca were awesome crew mates on Cumulus. We started surfing some waves and Annie played Beach Boys for us. Kokomo FTW!

The fearless crew
What an amazing day. Thanks to the amazing crew! Yigit for stepping up and doing spin even though it had been so long. Peter, his crazy focus while driving and trimming. Steve for noticing details, asking questions, and being Johnny on the spot wherever help was needed... Which was pretty much everywhere!
Think it's safe to say we all learned a ton, and had great fun doing it.
The race itself was pretty low breeze most of the time. We had to get a tow out to the racecourse, and then a toe back to the school. Racing was a matter of chasing pressure and connecting the dots. We were able to fly the Spinnaker on the first leg, and then again towards the end for a Spinnaker finish on the shortened course.

Sunset over the West River
Long slow pcrc race out the West River and up the Rhode River. We stayed focused through the frustration, and did well. Got rewarded by a really nice sunset on the way back, so we're lining a very long race.

This Monday night was all about Spinnaker practice. We got dfl on most of the races, but we got third on the last one. 1 hour set and douse were less terrible then the rest. Crab cup is going to be a blast

Unfortunately there was barely any breeze. We sailed, though, however barely detectable our forward motion. And the big chop (4+ feet at times) gave me some confidence that the rig won't fall over. Next time, we'll do it with some real breeze.

Rats on Boats
Chinook under spin!
If the rats are on board, you know the ship can't sink.
Later, a couple of us kbc kids helped Ian set Chinook the rainbow up for sym spin and fly it. This was my first time driving with a sym spin up, whole new level of challenge!
