This is the deck. We hit a pretty big wake from some huge powerboat running through the course; not slow, but not fast enough to get on a plane so it was more like a huge water plow, thus sending me face forward towards the deck.





Morning of the third day. Tom and Drew.


The Race Committee boat

Luchador, where were you the first day huh? Too breezy for you?


Tom, trying to relax as we move to the back of the pack


This picture actually is the first one where we tried tuning the rig the morning before the first race.

And thats all the pictures I was able to take! I would have taken more but I was kind of working the jib so yeah... not much time for pictures.

  2. Thanks my2fish! It was a blast! Unfortunately we're probably done racing for the season but at least theres still a good amount of sailing weather left.
