Every time I go out to spar on these boats, I feel like I double my match racing knowledge!! That might be because I have very little, but even still! I did I a lot as a crew, but driving is another experience entirely. It's like driving without your gps so you are forced to pay so much more attention, make decisions on the fly and pay so much more attention. That's the LAST TIME, I'll tell a story about my day in the middle of a prestart (doh!!)
Century Club: Ashley Love
Boats 1,2,3,9,10,11 were our instruments for orchestrating drills, combinations and full-on sparring with the women's team going to the Thayer and a collection of extremely talented coed team racing experts to get everyone to their next level!
Bruce's birthday! I had posted on our Facebook page a lot of photos of him at work and asked people to shout out to him on the water. SO MANY people did! That was fun. The cheesecake vs. cupcake choice was easy for him!
Just floated around for the whole day on the umpire boats (we had a bye to start). Never actually raced.
It looked like there would some storms, but that meant we got to watch the clouds roll in across the water and we got to head out afterwards for some perfect conditions for starts and windward/leeward sparring. Teams are forming up for regattas all over the country!
