Joined the Pax River Sail Club for a Frostbite Race on the Patuxent River.  Took the club's yawl, Artic Tern, with a crew of 6 over to Solomons and raced against other sailboats.  Achieved over 7 knots and rolls that I haven't experienced in a while.  I manned the port jib line and enjoyed the day.  Boat started great off the starting line but unfortunately fell to the back of the pack.
