The hardcore SSA lasers, lovingly chipped away from the ice for today's races.
Did a little frostbiting in the snow and freezing rain. I was excited by the forecast which called for lots of snow - I've long wanted to sail in enough snow to see the wind play on the sails. But it was mostly rain, with a few fat heavy flakes that just fell straight down. One day!

G and I joined Mike on Specific Gravity for a beautiful midday sail. Nice breeze scheduled to rise to a gale - we got back just as it was getting to be a bit much. G and I both got tiller time and main trim practice, in tricky, puffy, shifty conditions.
Always a pleasure to sail with Mike!

Mike didn't waste any time moving the boat, so we didn't even miss a week of racing! Unfortunately, I'm not allowed to dangle off the bow as is my wont in warmer months... or maybe that's actually fortunate, since it's getting *cold*...
[Looks like we didn't get a score for this race, since our ORC rating expired. Switching to PHRF next week!]

Closing night of the frostbite series. Last race of the year on the West River. Much feels. Many bittersweet.

Beautiful with decent sailing. I do need to practice different dousing techniques - muscling it down in autumn breeze gets slow and iffy...
