Our first Tuesday night race of the season started in an unknown fashion: perfectly planned and executed. The mast slid into the hull like Wiener into a bun. The pointy rudder pinions fell into place immediately and the mighty engine spurred to life with the sound of the god of thunder gargling nails.
The team was ready to slay and … the race was called off for a lack of wind.
But as we have mastered many seasons without protective gear on board we would not let the absence of wind stop us. So our fearless captain challenged the competition to a race across the sound. As the wind picked up a head to head spinnaker race had the mighty unplugged barreling across the sound. Shoutout to Geronimo’s Cadillac, Yankee boy and the newest addition to the fold: Scorpios for making this first race day special.
What a start to this season – what a yacht and what a crew!
