the girls and Mario ready to party!
our bear, in honor of Bear week (and Beringer)
Welcome to Ptown!
The smoothest Sound I’ve ever seen
Another iconic New England race I got the honor of being a part of this year on Ghost: the Beringer Bowl race from Marblehead to Provincetown.
Skipped out of work around noon to run to the yacht club and get a pretty trip sailing up to Marblehead. Unfortunately, this was the last of our wind. Drifted across the start line around 7pm, and kept on drifting. I've never seen the Sound this calm. Not even three hours later, tried to tack and ended aimlessly drifting in circles. Called it a race, retired, and turned on the motor to party in PTown anyway! We were the first but not the only to retire, with no one in our class finishing, and a crazy count of 9/41 boats finishing the race. Mostly A class, but our friends in Man of War were among them! The latest finisher came in at 2pm the next day, just two hours before the party. With our motor, we were there at 2am
The rest of Saturday was party and swim (beach and pool), then a beautiful sail home on Sunday for my birthday! A candle in the morning, a whale during the trip, and a mudslide on return - who could ask for a better day!
