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.

Only went 3 miles. Windier than I thought so brought her back in fairly quickly.

Had not dewinterized powerboat until May, for first time in years. Took off winter cover, mass of lines, cover framework, installed battery. Boat started right up. First try. Ran smoothly. Took out for a short spin; so much fun.

Fantastic trip up France's Rhine River, from Avignon to Lyon.
