Sailing with Chris and Philippe

I had no crew and weather was nice.  Invited Chris. Philippe was on the lawn looking for a boat to crew on.

We motored out to the gut and set sail to the racing area for a practice warm-up race. 

Winds picked up just in time for the race.

We raced well. Winds were shifty before the start but stabilized to the east.

Chris naturally took the helm and would not give it up. 

After the race, we lost the radar reflector, which we recovered under engine power.

Chris and I went to Ye Old Orchard to meet up with the Park Med group.
