Another Monday night race in the books, the weather looked questionable but it turned into an amazing afternoon, with a crazy double rainbow that lit up whatever it landed on in the water. The photos do not do it justice.

G and I took Orange Mistral out for a little high breeze practice. We practiced powering down while pointing, wing on while running, and we did a few starts. He did really well on the tiller! I did less well handling all the sheets, especially in the jibes. Productive work on a beautiful evening!

Beautiful day with a light enough breeze that I set to leeward the whole time. Did some upwind and downwind, then practiced a start (only 15s late, great for me!) then did some laps around speed buoys. I'll tell you what, this girl can slide. Good to know!

Sunset over the fleet
I wonder if they are using the same wind we are using?

Another race in the books. I really enjoy racing with this crew. Our maneuvers keep getting better.

Jim took a couple of us out to watch the 420 races... But we just sat there watching the kids bob around. No wind, no races. Still better than a day at the office!

Finally, string steady winds without a hint of storms on a Monday night - we got our distance race out to R2 and 1AH. Heavy seas and four of us in the white knockabout made for a really fun, wet evening. Susan the math teacher was amazing.
