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.

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!

loading the boat, toilet paper in hand
splashed at 6am and ready to race at noon! still a broken motor, so we sailed off the dock (only slammed it once) and on to the mooring (entierly successfully). We got second by 20 seconds, which is great for a shakedown sail (and any sail, imo, but not really for the Pony), but annoying because we lost MINUTES accross all of our manuvers, mostly because no one reallyyyy has been flying a spin this year, and we're all a little rusty...

Was supposed to be the splashing of the Pony, but she got delayed a day, so we raced Friday night on Ghost! had a fun race with a super fun crew (including a 4 year old Delilah) and yummy snacks (candy rocks!)

It was almost windy and along with that some cold and a storm that justttt held off meant I had to find my way to CBI to get out on a wing. Had a great time, managed to stay pretty much as far upwind as I wanted, pulled off one actually good feeling gybe, and nearly froze to death, but I survived!

In order not to abandon the only non-core women's sailing sailor there, I jumped ship on my friends' boat and went with an anchient captain who didn't seem to want to let the mainsheet out... ever... we drifted and we struggled and eventually managed to convert our drift downwind into an attempt at sailing home, and made it only about 30 minutes after the others. but being out on the Charles at night is so cool

Came in pretty much dead last, but had a blast dragging Michael out on a 420 with me. He insisted on lounging with his feet up on the side, which was not the most efficient or dignified, but what can you do with a 6'5" seasickness-inclined man on a boat

if you zoom and squint you’ll see my little green/transparent sail in front of the white powerboat on the far shore (they were far too close for comfort far too often)
Didn't actually race, but windsurfed, since it was vaguely windy. Blessed by a few rainbows to pair with the wind and rain.
Post sail, had a teeny dock party to celebrate Charlie, CBIs longtime director retiring (and capsizing at racing into the Charles).

post-sailing pizza
Grace was in town to drop a friend at the airport, so I took her racing! super windy day at first, that settled out into a beautiful day for her to take the helm on a first 420 sail. then pizza and no beers at Night Shift!
