The Admiral takes the Helm

A quick sail in a good blow and the Admiral slayed it at the helm. Gaining confidence, I am extremely proud of her. She is a badass!!

Admiral Day

No wind 80’s in Buffalo NY beautiful day for the Admiral to take the helm and hone her motoring skills! And boy did she ever! Excellent job stopping at a buoy like it was a mooring ball or a dock- excellent backing to the buoy like a Med Moor- excellent stopping dead alongside (both sides) the buoy. I think she is ready to get me if I am MOB- or will she. 👹👺

Race watching with Friends

Nice evening for a sail and to watch BHSC races. Also check out the new Buffalo Bills stadium from the lake. Amazing it looks so close but is at least four miles from the shoreline.

William Borowski - French fries with breakfast? Man no Spaniards live close to the edge lol.  Nadal was one of the best to ever play and a great ambassador for the sport. He deserves that check and dinghy. Trying to learn to interpret data. Looking at the weather map from your last journey it appears as though you were able to run close haul, and close reach for the entire trip. That course with those winds says “go baby go“!
