ILCA Sailing in the long distance race at FBYC.
Century Club: Jon Deutsch
Went for a morning Stand Up Paddle followed by boat ride over to FBYC to catch up with friends doing a program with their kid and then over to hole in the wall beach before returning home for a sunset cruise.
A few ILCA sailors decided to crash the 4th Spring Series race day and 3 boats made it out to the line to race. It was a windy day with a South-West wind in the upper teens with some gusts into the low 20's. We sailed 3 races and I was able to stay close to Scott Adam, but just could match his speed to pass or stay ahead of him for long. Still a fun day on the water and glad to get some more time in plenty of wind. Thanks to Mike Toms for running RC.
4 people aboard J99 Battle Rhythm for a light-air race. Did the short course and still nobody was able to finish in the 5 hour time limit.
We had a nice day for the Open House Regatta with a light breeze out of the east that eventually built to the double digits. Jess and I were sailing aboard Todd's J99 Battle Rhythm with me doing pit and her trimming the main.
Took the 360 camera out on the paddleboard to see how it would work while paddling around Queens Creek.
Two days of sailing on the J99 Battle Rhythm at FBYC. First day was a buoy race in 10-13 in a bit of drizzle and overcast skies. 2nd day was a light air distance races.
On Saturday I helped Todd deliver his J99 Battle Rhythm from its winter home in Irvington VA to Deltaville for the summer sailing and racing season. Ann was along as well and we had a nice motor down the Rappahannock River and did some sailing when we reached the Chesapeake Bay in the lightish winds.
Slightly windy and overcast/cool day of ILCA sailing at FBYC for the first ILCA regatta of the year. 4 boats and 5 races. Won 3 of them to take 1st overall.
