Saturday Night Race AKA Booooooze Cruise

July 12th, 2009

DSC_0005Last night was a blast…when people say that the best days of owning a boat are “The Day You Buy It & The Day You Sell It”, THEY ARE SMOKING CRACK. We had a FULL boat, I think there was Eight total.  What a blast…we got to the race course just in time to see that there was only one other boat racing with us…Fine, we were going to make the best of it.   We got to the start a couple of minutes late…what is new?  But we got around the bouyes and finished the race half a leg early.  Race over, we came in second out of two boats…not the best race showing.  Who cares!

DSC_0003This was the first time Patrick and Carrie had ever been on a boat, and as far as their experience racing the boat, I don’t think they will be coming back.  Patrick got to fly the chute, I am not sure that was his “thing”.  Carrie got bruises all over  her bottom from the toe rails….I might have forgotten to mention that would happen.  They were troopers.  And I really think that they enjoyed the Booze Cruise.

The Boooooze Cruise is what it was all about.  After the race we flew the spin to the power station and watched the sun come down.   STUNNING!!!  We had drinks and enjoyed the music coming out of the speakers.  We sailed…Just sailed, with no where to go, and no worries.  We had wine, and beer, and great company.  We had it all.

Finally came back to the club around 10 and put her back on the trailer and headed to Snuffers….it was such a chill and fun night.  Dwight, as usual took the fantastic pics!  Click here for the Album….
