Century Club: Delaney Vorwick

 Three days this week sail training on woodwind II. Two new crew and one new captain! it's going well. 

first time out of the slip with new boat owner Jake. After spending all day saturday diagnosing and fixing engine problems, we sailed in 10-15 kts up the river and back. Fun day figuring out what all needs to change and how to make this boat cruising ready for some picky sailors. New Magma grill works great for hotdogs, just make sure to stop the cooking process before docking. Still some engine tinkering that needs to happen, but difficult situations on the water are easy when you're fully in sync with your sailing buddy. 

Thirteen days at sea as the mate aboard FALKEN, a sleek and powerful Farr 65. We sailed slow downwind in 6kts of breeze, we sailed fast upwind in 40kts of breeze. It was all or nothing the whole way. We caught a beautiful Mahi Mahi; we made ceviche and fish tacos. We flew the kite after much deliberation as to how to run the lines (we'd collectively only flown it twice). The wildlife was abundant and freakishly active (including Manta Rays doing flips for hours on end). The company was excellent and the food wasn't half bad. I even made croissants! A fulfilling and exhausting two weeks.
