Jonesing for the Beach
Yeeha! Despite this crappy weather, I am in a great mood -- summer's here! I know not officially until June 21, but I always celebrate the beginning of summer when the sailing season starts -- this Thursday night is our first race. Really, it's a practice race, since US Sailing instituted new rules for starting, so we have to practice ... starting. Then Friday afternoon, off to the Cape! I'm going to miss about 5 races this year because of class, so I am really looking forward to getting in a bunch in the beginning of the season. We have a new handicap for the boat, which means possibly winning more in our division. The boat's a 36-ft Jeanneau Sun Odyssey - a cruiser/racer, and light winds (anything under 11 knots) are not her forte. So, with the new handicap, we may have more time and ... more luck.
The real bonus is ... the yacht club is right down the street from COLONY PIZZA and Uncle Jack and Aunt Miki!!
