Frostbite One

Chris gave me a lift to the boat.  Maude met us aboard and we departed at 8:50 under headsail to the race area.

I helmed the first race, Maude handled the main and Chris did the winches.  Chris helmed the second and third race.

The headsail had a rip on the leach line cover.  After the first race, the leach line got caught in the spreader and we were forced to take down the headsail and cut the leach line.  We started the second race very late.

We came back in the cold and warmed up with a little rum.  Nobody was interested in the cold beer.

The first race we came in 10th and 11th for the second and third race.
