Zesty day sail on J#8 w/Steve

Fabulous weather, cool but clear and sunny. Wind was 10-20 N so we started out reefed and were cautious. We got out last ft mchenry so fast that we were halfway out to the bridge within an hour or less, but we knew getting back in would be more challenging so turned around and had an impromptu race w/#5. (Scott, Robert & Richard) However, they lost the bottom bracket on their rudder so our complete trouncing victory was a little hollow. Out and back in just over 2 hours. Excellent sail.
