Recent race finishes:
Monday 5/12 10th out of fourteen. Ouch! No wind and unfavorable tide overcame good teamwork and otherwise mistake free boat handling.
Saturday, 5/10 Tri-Island #2 (Vashon). 3rd out of 15. Crew of 4 kept the boat moving well, handled the sail changes and spinnaker jibes, and managed to hold onto 3rd place in the race, and for the series. One more to go.
Monday, 4/28 7th out of 14. Heavy weather sailing, never completely in control of the boat (or the sails). Still, did enough right to stay in the middle of the pack
Monday 4/21 6th out of 14. Ditto.
4/19 Tri-Island #1 Smith Island race. 4 guys, lots of rookie mistakes on the starting line had us second from last. When we finally got the chute up we started passing people, and ended up in a dogfight to the finish, which we won, barely, end end up as the 3rd boat accross the line, and 3rd overall. A coupld of weeks later the result changed to fourth, not sure why...
4/14 first Ballard cup race. 5th out of 14. Shorthanded crew did great just keeping the boat going round the bouys.
