Last Wednesday on Eighth Deadly Sin for this season. Rainy and cold but strong tactics and a good crew turnout led to a strong finish.

Braved the rain for a quick race. Strong upwind legs and spin work but the bottom is in need of a deep cleaning so it was making us slower.

Another dreary day on the water. Small crew of 5 but RC put up an interesting course and got some good practice free-flying the spin with Mike.

Dreary Tuesday in Baltimore. Slow start and challenging roundings at the mark close to a ship but any day on the watter is a good time. Thanks Lynn for the picture.

Jonathan brought the Spicy Meatball down to Lake Anna for a long weekend with some friends. Got in 3 good days on the boat despite shifty conditions and learned it will pass the "I swear it's a five seater" test. Spent a little time paddling as well to round out a great weekend.

Out on Eighth Deadly Sin for another Wednesday race. Very strong start between two other racers into a good upwind leg. Set up for the downwind and the wind turned off so RC shortened the course to one lap. Great communication between the crew and a very smooth race.

Out on Incorrigible for another Tuesday race. Strong start and first upwind and downwind legs. Fouled another boat due to a bad call on a crossing we thought we could make and had to do circles. Wind lightened towards the end of the race bringing us to a slow finish.

On Eighth Deadly Sin for the first race of series 5. Ideal conditions for the race with good tactics and problem solving from the crew. Truly a perfect day on the water and a good break in the middle of a busy week.

On Incorrigible for Tuesday night racing. Strong start and good tactics up to the first mark. Rounded and got a spin up for the downwind before another clean rounding and upwind leg. Made a strategic error going around a ship that was parked that lost us some time but solid work from everyone and discovered we can fly a spin with six people. Thanks Lynn for the pictures.
