Pictures don't do her Justice, THE NEW NAV LIGHT!

WooooHooooooooooooooooooooo…We raised Dwight up the mast today and he fixed the NAV light…WE ARE LEGAL BABY!!!  No more “Borrowing” a light.  We also removed the babystay and got some other minor repairs done.

All this so that we can race tonight and not have to come in after the race.  Let me first say, that I am an idiot.  I might have made a couple of tactical errors during last night’s race.  But, what the Hell was going on at the start…I am not sure how that worked, but we got off to a decent start.  Heck we even got to the first mark in a timely manner…from there on things did not go too well.  I might have yelled out something to Barking Fish, when the was no reason for it.  Its just that we were going downwind, and it looked like he was coming across us going the other way kinda.  You’re confused?  No, apparently I was the confused…I had a lesson thought to me by Mark, and I might have touched his boat with part of my spinnaker.  OK so I did…he protested…I didn’t correctly do my penalty turns…we pretty much might have been DQed… I am not sure what happens. Learned my lessons.

We didn’t quite make it back to the club with the rest of the fleet.  We wanted to test out our new/fixed nav light!!!   Did I say how bright that LED bulb is, I think you might be able to see it from the International Space Station.  We cruised across the lake for hours, staring at the LED light, listening to country music, singing, and maybe having a couple of drinks!  We must have been a bit loud though, the people on the RCYC Deck didn’t care too much for our  singing.

Anyways, the Saturday night races are a blast.  You wanna see pictures? Click here…
