Hello music fans,
Nathan will do a professional writeup about the race - but it might be interesting to also follow our brave little Beethovens as they ploughed through a day of heavy weather and laughter.
Here are our positions during the race:
Driver: Nathan
Trim #1: Roger
Trim #2: Mark
Pit: Heather
Foredeck: Nat
And our positions outside of the race:
Driver: Heather
Trim and chit chat: Nathan
Beer #1: Roger
Beer #2: Mark
Wiping off the salt from a bunch of grapes as she is assaulted by waves on the foredeck: Nat
And a few things that you may not read about in the official report:
- Heather hanging off the boom in a strange carp position
- Nat trying to recover a spinnaker pinned on deck between the jib sheets, looking like she's leading a silk painting workshop
- The entire crew trying to figure out why no boat is crossing the finish line...ultimately realizing that there was one more windward/leeward zigzagging to do.
- Nathan hosing off the grapes to get the salt out
- "I am a social cookie eater - if no one else is having some of those chocolate chip cookies, I will have to put them away"
We put the boat away BEFORE the heavy heavy rain started - obviously, this was part of the plan.
Pictures are coming soon :)
