Would an absolutely gorgeous day to go sailing! The swells were very moderate and the wind was very good getting us up to 7 kn of speed at times. Between Laura and Bobby the sale trim was incredible and we literally passed all the other boats up. As we were the lowest rated, we did very well and ended up winning first place in the chatter cup series. There were unfortunately no whales or other sea life that were spectacular on this trip. We were able to soak up the sun and have some good time chatting while we were working the sales. Lots of water, fights, and marshmallow guns were deployed on this trip.

It was an overcast day but great sailing conditions. Generally we were sailing over 5 knots and a great deal of heeling. Once we rounded ML1 we set up the spinnaker which worked very well. Both the boat and the skipper had not done this before. It was a first for me as well. Such quiet speed! Great crew at hand. Lots of boats out for the race. Not much wildlife though

Sees were pretty calm with consistent winds. We ran at usually over 6 kn an hour no wildlife really spotted but the whole race was very clean and we came in second.

Nice calm, calm seas with good 15 wins got to max 6.2 kn and covered assistance on the race fairly well. All in all it was a beautiful sale, although not much wildlife other than lots of pelicans. Largely overcast day and kind of chilly. Crew was Diana and Dan Garrett and Jared Perez. All wonderful folks did very well.

Beautiful blue skies, but very brisk winds with lots of gusts and swells to 78 feet. Made good time and had a wonderful day out no Wildlife other than lots of pelican and dead sardines in the wharf.

Weather was absolutely beautiful with slight haze on the horizon. When we started, however it was socked in and very foggy so the race had been called off. The race was supposed to go out to the new Bowie wave Runner out in the bay. We decided to pursue that on our own and found that it took us over five hours to get out thereand the wind died on the return trip making it quite a long journey learned a lot about protective lines, lazy jacks, tacking, and sailing down wind barely made it into port with the electric motor. Saw some whales in the distance lots of pelican swells, moderate lovely day.

Beautiful day that started very slow and we made little progress until about 1 o’clock when the wind picked up at that point we were off but the sea was pretty rough and eventually right before we made it to the Santa Cruz mile marker we decided to discontinue the race and head backall in all. It was over eight hours of pretty rough sailing, but beautiful water lots of whales, pelican jellyfish otter it couldn’t be beat crystal clear skies.

This was the Otter cup. Lots of tacking to get around the Monterey buoy. Once there it was a straight shot and great. Blustery day. I think we won our division!
