11 knots of wind. cloudy skies with some rain to start. 

RC went off smoothly.  we got out of the slip and I actually was able to through the lines on the pillng. well at least the first one. the second one landed on the friendship line. usually I suck without a boat hook. 

we dropped both marks in a good spot. I let down the anchor but we needed to bring it back up and reposition. brought the anchor up and took the bridle off and we did it again. we ended up in a good spot with a nice starting line (and spinnaker finish line)

we had 10 boats racing. 

i was sighting for OCS at the start while Karl and Nancy did the flags. 

no one over early but courageous joined late and started as soon as they could. about 1-2 minutes after the start. 

Karen brought some snacks while the race went on. yum 😋. 

at the end I was spoting the line and blowing the horn while Nancy did time and Karl recorded. that was a loud high pitched horn. hearing loss for sure. 

pulling up anchor the chain piled up in the locker right under the windlass and I needed to get out of the way. I did this as well when we had to re anchor.  this time there was mud and sludge on the chain. yuck. Karl got me a rag, Thanks. next time I'll remember to use a boat hook to move it out of the way. 

we picked up the marks and headed in. it was pretty dark at this point. 

there was a really pretty rainbow 🌈 during the race.
