Beach day -> sailing night

Came down after an epic day of waves at Rever hoping to get a yellow Laser today, for the dockstaff to tell me not possible (algae) and they had no idea how I got a green the day before. 

Hopped on a singlehanded Merc instead and quickly decided that I didn't want to hold three things in my hands, so I abandoned the rudder and had a great time rudderless sailing around! Nearly had a collision with an MIT sailor who was 1. on starboard, 2. pushing me into sailing by the lee WITH NO RUDDER, and 3. had the audacity to say "wow that was close" when he passed me without having headed down at ALL.

Cyanobacteria driving me to be a laser sailor

This algae is keeping me from windsurfing STILL, and I am going crazy, so I bullied a dockstaff into letting me take my green test on a Laser tonight! didn't have to capsize for my test (thank you algae), but tried to roll just a little too hard, got stuck in my little rolling ball at the bottom side of the boat, and went over anyways...fully wet... but had a blast bouncing around with Mark, Mason, and Tristan, and being one of the gang, finally!

Women's social sailing (on a Thursday :( )
  • taking the helm after my crew Sara passed her red wind test!

Race night transformed into social sailing because of a 7pm dock party (open bar! food! robo-subs!). Bummed cause it was a windy day and would have made for some awesome racing, but instead we had a day full of red tests and added 4 new red rated Merc sailors to our group!! and the only capsizes were men hehehe

Last night of soling!

Booked it back to Boston from home on an early morning train to make it in time for a 5pm Soling dock call. No spinnaker tonight (because I'm still not good enough to make it fast) and we lost just about every race but had one or two great starts! a blast for my last night racing with them in the summer series!

Water fun at home!
  • the big boat and a brave soul attempting foiling

Fled the state after Flip Flop, and after a brief reprise in NYC, made it to the Chesapeake for a weekend of water fun at home. As per usual, this includes:

- wakeboarding and waterskiing

- Hobie sailing

- attempting to wing upwind in very little wind

- attempting to pump a foil and, new this trip, attempting to wakesurf with a foil 

- various methods of leaping into the water off of various craft

- eating crabs

Flip Flop!
  • grinding on the downwind
  • the ladies of the pony (it sails better when there’s 50+% women)
  • rearview mirror
  • en route to the party via motor (yes it’s cheating, but it’s really hard to dock with a broken engine)

"Christmas for Boston sailors"

The biggest Boston harbor race of the year, a pursuit with 68 boats and a spirit award. And it was another Pony day! we glittered and neon-ed up and got ready to race (a little late, out at the line with only 12 minutes to spare for our start, we checked in as we sailed over the line). What was predicted to be a low wind drift turned into a high speed day, with ripped kites (not ours), broaches (once for us), and wild Boston racing! 

Then an even wilder party, with reports of dinghy motors dropped in the water and wayward sailors returning home at 11am.

Friday night racing with Peter

Wandered down to the river a couple of minutes late as is my tendency to do on Fridays, and found Peter hanging out. Not a normal racer, but he offered to hop in a boat and crew so we could get out there! Spend the night battling Sam and Dwayne (and only truly fouling them once), then made up for it all over beers with Dwayne, Dana, Cole (my Viper connection, if I ever want one) and Max.

Wednesday night on Andara

Adding another boat to my fleet of boats this summer. Raced Doug's boat Andara with mostly Ghosties out of Boston Harbor Yacht club for the Wednesday night races. Booked it out of work on a BlueBike to make it on time for a chilly windy night of racing! Haven't earned my keep on this boat yet, but this was the first step there. He's flying an asym but looking for a team to fly symmetrical (with a dip pole) and hoping I can weasle my way into that!
