Spring Keel Day 1


Feeling Peachy?

Nathan thinking tactically


Happy Mark


Brian, Nathan and Scott, waiting for the wind to pick up


The previous fleet starts


Scott is boom sitting before the fun starts




Brian's lifejacket went off!!

Brian wondering how he could get people's attention...


First race: terrible start, terrible light air speed and overall not good results. Great tactics. Saved us!
Second race: much better, great speed upwind after the first half of the first upwind but that was about it...Great interesting tactical finish. Also, the spinnaker sheet shackle got loose so we had to recover from that and a near round up, saved by the bell at the last minute. Great boat speed downwind too.
Third race: so so...

All in all fun, but need to work on getting in the groove faster...and be faster in the light air. Great boat speed in the heavy stuff. Sounds familiar. Perhaps because it is the first race of the season?
