Sunday Shakedown Sail

Posted by AJ Miceli on May 6, 2012

The first race is Wednesday.  So we went up the mast to reinstall the wind instruments.  Then we got the main back on.  Then we went for a nice  shakedown sail in 12-18 kts of breeze.  Thanks Mark, Andy and Rosemary for the help and a fun sail.  It was a little chilly at times.  But, hey, we were sailing!!! 🙂

Team Red Herring

Posted by AJ Miceli on April 1, 2012

During the off-season Team Red Herring played Trivia at the Erie Yacht Club.  After 10 weeks Team Red Herring was victorious over a total of 23 other teams!  Apparently we know more useless information than all the other teams 🙂

And So It Begins

Posted by AJ Miceli on March 25, 2012

Removed Red Herring’s cover today with help from Andy Maille and Mark Platteter.  Must get moving — splash in about 5 weeks (36 days!).

2012 Countdown Started

Posted by AJ Miceli on December 29, 2011

So, maybe you noticed that the last posting to this blog was on my birthday (July 18, 2011).  I’m really sorry ’bout that!

Once again I must declare this blog NOT DEAD.  However, it has become derelict.  My life is surprisingly busy and full (for such an old guy).  And once again I must promise to be a more responsible blogger in the future.

Just to let you know, we finished the season with two 2nd places (two red flags — our favorite color).

As part of my New Year’s resolution, I’ve restarted the Countdown-to-Splash timer.   Click on the tab above that says “Countdown to Splash.” Once you click on the link you can then bookmark the link and go directly to it in the future, or you can continue to visit this blog.

Happy New Year!
