FFR fun race with Cheheb and Scarlett - BBQ sunset, moon rise, night sailing


 Rachel was not feeling well, Ming had other plans so it was just Scarlett, Cheheb and me.

It was windy from the west and we decided to sail - tacking all the way.  Cheheb was helming and brought us too far south between shallows and we had to back out.  Then we were going to be late for the start so we motor sailed to the start line.  One minute late, but we raced well coming in about fifth out of 25 boats.

Would have been good if we used the early arrival to change head sails.


We anchored at the eastern end of the sandbars and BBQ some pork chops.  then did some night sailing returning to the club at midnight - to find the door locked and keys not working, but the sliding doors worked.


The windlass rope guard snapped a hex screw.
