FFR pursuit on Saturday followed by Raft Up

Jessica and Natalie came to do the last Friday Fun Race on Saturday.

We messed up some tacks.  The winds were quirky. We hit a yellow SYLVA buoy.  I had to take the helm.

We started 22 minutes after the scratch boat and finished dead last.  The crew was learning.  

We had the 155 headsail up.  Near the end of the race, the winds picked up, but we were in a broad reach.

I came to join the raft-up with the mainsail still up! URG!

We partied, and about 7:30, we broke up the raft-up to return to the dock to BBQ the barvette.

Frostbite No 1

It was quite a windy day for a race.  Shawn and Nathalie were available.  We set out to sail, first with a reefed main and then a reefed jib...
