We took our grandaughter and her cousins out on the boat today. We went to Hampton and took on fuel. We went to Hampton Public Piers and tied up while we ate lunch then sailed out of the Hampton river across the Harbor then back to Monroe. Great day with the kids!

We waited out the rain and left the slip, but the rain took the wind! We putted around, visited with a friend anchored off Ft Monroe and came back tot he slip.

I raced in the Cape Charles Cup this past weekend. Saturday was rainy and windy, 2 hour delay on the start. We finally started and the Jib Halyard failed after 50 yards! We withdrew and came back to the slip to re-run the halyard. Sundays race started slow and ended in big waves, rain and strong wind. I finished 3rd in my fleet but my whisker pole snapped in half just after I finished the race...Not a good weekend for the boat!

OPCYC held a social distancing race where all boats started 2 minutes apart! They also gave each boat 60 seconds credit at the start. You lost credit for each second elapsed before you crossed the start line. We won the start with 14 seconds between our start time and when I actually crossed the line. We took 5th over all on corrected time. Not great but a fun race!

We went out on my friends boat in very light air. It was supposed to be a race bt the race was called due to light air. It was more of a float than a sail!

My Son, his wife and I sailed the OPCYC Yankee Station race on Saturday. Beautiful day for racing! We rounded the first mark in 2nd place and kept that position the whole race.
It was really great to have Adam and Dana along with me!
