NauticEdI almost skippered Amanda Rose, but I only found one person to crew, so we instead joined Andrei and another on Uforia. We had great wind though and it was much cooler on sail than not. Sadly, there was an accident between Ally Cat and Whitecaps that left Whitecaps with a snapped mast. Everyone was fine thankfully. Finished first (or tie or second, photo finish), second, and first.

Nice wind on a small lake. Found a nice cove to anchor and swim the whole family. Thanks to Erin's brother Ben for taking us out, nice to see what a trailered boat that lives on the hard is like.

Steady 10-15 but not wet. Flew #1 with no regrets. We tried to outrun the Sea Queen, but they eventually overtook us as we passed the point. Open seas quite high, but Liza waited to splash me on the return. Lovely sail with a lovely lady.

Gentle breeze, just right for a baby standing around eating crackers. Liza helmed mostly with a perfect landing. Special guest Andy couldn't get enough of Julian's Mandarin.

Gentle breeze got us out of SH channel but a large wind shadow kept more than half the boats from reaching the starting line. Oh well.

Reefed and storm jib, headed toward the bridge into the wind with a bit too much heel. Should have sailed off the wind and tacked across the bay for better comfort. Should have also considered breezy point given tides and wind direction. Sarah's first sail!

lovely wind for a lovely sail until there was none on the return. where did all the wind go? after paddling for more than an hour and losing ground, we prepared an anchor but lucked out with a rescue tow.
