S2 R2 - Scarlett and I

I biked to the club on Monday afternoon with lots of groceries.  


The house batteries were not fully charged from last week's hiatus 

I departed the dock at 4 and sailed from the club channel to Grand Anse when the winds died and I motored the last mile in and anchored

Supper was a lousy steak that could have been better but I had the smoked pork chops from Price Chopper's.

Nice sunset.  The next morning I organized my work stuff and at 2PM, I pulled anchor and rain to PCYC where I met up with the PCYC racers. Chewed the fat.  Mark was a standby crew if Louise could not make it.  She did show up.  

I made a friendly standard bet with Chiheb if they would beat us.


Scarlett showed up at 5:45 and we raced a very active race. It was a tight start.  Scarlett helmed.  She did very well.  

The start was fast, we had an excellent start, playing with an Eschell at the start and Tocade on the first windward mark.

Winds picked up at 7 and died slowly during the race.




Tocade



Wind instruments acted up a little but the windex was well aligned with Maud and Norm's help at the Strathcona. Winds were high at the beginning of the race.  We raced well passing Genesis just before the first windward mark.  Never looked back. We won the bet by 5 seconds.

It was a good race.  Great Crew.
