Instead of racing, Skymark was out for an evening cruise with Andrew Perry and his new-to-sailing Wife, Kayla, around Willoughby Bay. Winds were strong enough to really get some nice runs in but not too exciting. Picked up mark left over from previous week's race.

Short on crew so signed up for Cruising fleet for this 7 nm race off Buckroe Beach (Yankee Point). A great day of good winds with no chop and we did well; fiinshed 5 of 10 in non-spin as they moved us into that group since we were the only Cruisier. Took 2nd place in slower NS group!
