  • Under spinnaker, going under the Solomons bridge.

Since the Fall Frostbite Series does not start for another month, what else is there to do on Wednesday nights other than go sailing?  A crew 5 of us sailed the Pax River basin and then up to the bridge.  We doused the spinnaker just after rounding the pylon.  Now, don't tell Mom but, what do you do when the mainsail trimmer (me) has his arm in a sling from the injury incurred last week racing?  You give him the helm of course and let him steer one handed on the reach up to the bridge!  It was a great experience steering with the spinnaker with excellent coaching from the Skipper!
