"I won tonight as soon as I got on the water."
Another great outing with the Viens and Stefàn. With 4 on board and wind in the teens, we choose not to fly the spin. But the spin bag got washed overboard, we had to luff up, pull it back in, unclip it, and store it below - this cost us several places.
Lessons were learned, though, and fun was had, and we plan to practice Sunday morning.

Maybe I should get a trap harness for rainbow racing?
Finally a clear sunset after racing again
Breezy afternoon, long race to 1AH with Ron & Miranda. So much fun "hiking" in the breeze, but my shoulder is very angry now. I need to settle down andb generally use less muscle while sailing. Probably time to buy a winch handle...

Rainbows at the end of a rainbow!
The crew
The school set up match races. So much fun! Eloise and Mark did great on the roller and the jib. We got called in due to lightning but I look forward to match races again sometime.

Headed to the top mark
Waiting for the next race

Insert 420 joke here
Went out to watch the junior regatta at Hampton Yacht Club on a breezy day with the kids all the way out on their traps.

Jeremy's drivin!
Rats on a ship
Nice hat
Rail meat
My ugly mug
Took the Tartan out with some friends, flew the kite, went real fast.
Then crewed on the J100 Specific Gravity, a beautiful boat owned by the Vines who skippered and trimmed the main. Vicky worked the last and bow, I worked the pit, and Stefan played utility and jib. I learned a ton and look forward to doing it again soon!

Peake Social crew
Chasing hobbies and c420s
Took a rainbow out to see the KidShip and Chessie fleets practice. Then I coached a boat load of newbies who signed up through Peake Social - so much fun!

This is why I leave my sailing bag in the car
Quick spur of the moment out-and-back after dropping off C at KidShip Hobie camp, with a buddy who was also dropping off at KidShip.
