Well it is the time of the year! REGATTA TIME! Last weekend was the first of the year at RCYC. This was my second Frostbite Regatta, and we could not have asked for better weather. The plan was to have a race in the morning, followed up by two races in the afternoon!

We had a new crew, new spinnaker sheets, new video camera, and yummy Bloody Mary’s.  And we only had one close miss with S-Cape.  I am still not sure where they came from!

The starts were pretty good, but in retrospect, I think we had too much sail up. Once we had ripped the Genny and were forced to put up the Jib, we noticed a SURGE in speed. We stayed in the back of the fleet most of the day, but had a good time!

It was good to be on the water again.
