A good day of racing. Light, and sometimes frustrating air, but we sailed well. 4th place in race 1 – but we beat four boats, including the J-70! Very nice.
5th in Race 2. Weird reach-reach-reach-reach race on a course full of holes and shifts. We were very close to all the fast boats on corrected time..

It has taken me a while longer this year, but I’m catching up with the Schedule and Results page. Look along the top and you’ll see the 2013 Schedule and Results tab. I’ve only put a few of the races in so far — it’s a very manual process. So, I’ll get more races in later.

A beautiful night. It blew 25-30 al day, but at race time we had warm temps and a nice 12 knots of breeze. We sailed well, and took 3rd place.
A good way to start the season! Crew: Kim, Judy, Andy, Mark.

Red Herring splashed on Thursday in her new slip at the Erie Yacht Club. We plan to step the mast on Sunday. You can see the boat smiling!

It was 42 degrees and not raining on Sunday, so I got the boat washed and one half of the hull buffed (one half, because a hull has two sides, and a 27-foot boat is actually 54 linear feet).
Today is Monday, and it’s in the 60’s today. I hope to get 2 hours of work in tonight after work!

Well, it was supposed to be 50 today, so I went down to touch up the bottom where the cover straps wore off the VC17 and to wash the hull.
I got the touch up finished (see below) then I connected the hoses to wash the hull. No water yet!
Arrrgggh. We’ll have to wait for the washing. Oh, and it never got about 41 today. More to come.

It was 47 degrees and sunny today in Erie, so I declared Spring and took the cover off of the boat. Thanks to Mark Platteter for the help. It only took an hour, and now we can start thinking about boat prep if it doesn’t snow again (which it might)!
Only 39 days to the first race.
