Took the sunfish out for the first time this year and had a great time. Responsive to wind and body placement

Headed out around 7:45 pm for a spin around Valentine Creek and Round Bay. Had cooled down to about 82 and wind was down to about 4 knots. Lovely!

Nice to get up and about after several days with a cold. Went out single-handed in 8?knots with gusts to 12 which two hours later had grown to 14 knots with gusts to 19. Ended up being more strenuous than I'd planned, but had a great time. Saw another RBSA boat out enjoying the day, as well as a buddy on a duck in Round Bay, who took video.

Very light winds at the start died shortly afterwards, leaving the fleets immobile for a few minutes. Wind slowly filled in on the left, which we were able to catch earlier than some boats, which went more down the middle of the course. Came in 3rd out of 10 on corrected time; fifth over the line. Pizza night afterwards was a good showing, and it was fun to announce the winners of the first six-week series.

Needed to take a bosun's chair to a buddy who wanted to borrow it, so took it over to his boat at his dock. Fun!

Nice to get out on my own boat again by myself; had been a while since I went 7.2 miles over 2 hours.

So much fun to help a buddy get the sails on for the first time, get the rigging installed, etc. and then drive it up the Severn to his new mooring then to our dock for some cleaning. Two full days, but so fun to have another beautiful Tartan 245 around!

First race in a month when it wasn't raining, or cancelled due to t-storms. Started at 3 knots and the wind slowed from there. We had a great upwind leg, passing all but one boat in our fleet, but wind died as approached mark, which we drifted into. After penalty turn, got spin up, but got stuck in wind hole after wind hole, and watched our competitors all pass us. Came in 6th out of 10.

Nice ride on afternoon with little wind. Chatted with an RBSA buddy who was working on his outboard as I floated past.
