This was my first Governors cup race and it was a great experience. We left Friday around 7am, motored to Annapolis for lunch and then made our way to the start. The winds were very light at the start and it was like that for a few hours. It picked up slightly over night. I was able to sleep for about an hour over night. We arrived in St. Mary's City around 1030 am on Saturday. Joined in the festivities and had some nice relaxation time. We then made the drive back to our marina on Sunday, leaving around 7am and getting home around 11pm. I had a few turns at the helm which was pretty cool. We had heavy rain coming back home the last hour and very strong winds which made docking hard. 

 

It was a great trip, we got 3rd place in our division. I'll see what next year brings !
