Mishaps and Memories

Aug. 27, 2007 - racing or is it drifting with style?

Over Saturday and Sunday we raced aboard various boats, with C joing the crew of Vreny in class 5, and enjoying the use of a kite, M and I going on Sirenia in class 6 a white sails only class, and SWMBO hopping aboard FC to compete with Sirenia.... Sunday saw M and I aboard FC, while the girls went shopping....

 

The general story for the two days was how to drift in style.... there was little or no wind.... we tacked back and forth, generally losing ground due to tide on each tack....

 

never mind... it was hot.. the beer was cold, and the company excellent.... we all enjoyed it...
